SMITHFIELD, RI (08/18/2020)– Class of 2020: Resilient. Innovative. Prepared for Success.
Bryant University is pleased to recognize the Class of 2020 who have completed their undergraduate studies to earn a Bryant University degree, one which has more value now than at any time in Bryant’s history.
Sterling Barbosa of Haddam, CT, earned Magna Cum Laude a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration degree in Finance.
Barbosa joins a powerful network of more than 50,000 accomplished alumni who are inspired to excel and make a difference as leaders in organizations and communities around the world.
“Graduates of Bryant’s Class of 2020 have faced challenges and demonstrated resiliency that is unprecedented,” says Bryant University President Ross Gittell. “These graduates will go down in history for successfully completing their studies in the face of daunting obstacles caused by the global health crisis.”
When our most recent alumni left campus for spring break, no one knew that their final Bryant semester would be spent adapting to the challenges of a pandemic and that public health and safety policies would cause their graduation ceremonies to be postponed.
“This crisis has revealed the character and grit of our community of scholars. I am extraordinarily proud of the entire Class of 2020,” says Provost and Chief Academic Officer Glenn M. Sulmasy, JD, LL.M. “Together with our dedicated faculty, they have worked hard to complete their Bryant education with distinction.”
While a ceremony worthy of the accomplishments of the Class of 2020 will take place in May of 2021, we want to take this moment to recognize and celebrate the achievements of these distinguished individuals whose Bryant education has prepared them to be the innovators, leaders, and design thinkers ready to make a difference.
Through their resilience, determination, and innovative spirit, these graduates have shown their peers, professors, and the entire community what it means to Be Bryant Strong.
