Recognizing the Class of 2021

Recognizing the Class of 2021

Department of Psychology

With countless hours of reading, writing, studying, presenting, providing data, collecting data, analyzing data, etc., earning a Bachelor’s degree is difficult work. Your work this year was made even more difficult with all of the changes in our lives that we had to make in response to COVID. This year everyone made many sacrifices, and we all experienced losses of many kinds. Being able to earn your degree despite all of this should show you how strong and resilient you are. Each year the Department of Psychology swells with pride as we watch our graduates leave the nest and make their way in the world. This year the graduating class of 2021 makes us feel a bit more proud than usual. Like the mythical phoenix, all of you Jayhawks will rise from all of this to make the world a better place. As Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience majors you have a skill set like no other major on campus. With the tools that you have acquired and honed here at KU you will renew hope and optimism in others. You will help others, teach others, inspire others, and do so with the passion and compassion that only Jayhawks have. Be sure to keep in touch with your professors to update them on the successes (and the failures, too) that you encounter in the future. Congratulations Class of 2021!

ROCK CHALK!!!
