Graduate School News and Updates

It is never too early or too late for SC State communications graduates to think about getting an advanced degree that can help advance their careers.  Here is some news about May 2020 comm grads and older graduates too.

Tony Daquan Phillips (Class of 2020) and Jaelyn McCrae, also graduating May 2020, are both heading to the graduate communication program at Florida State University.  We are sure these Bulldogs will look good also in FSU Seminoles colors!  

Graduating Senior Expresses Frustration Over COVID-19 Crisis

Jaelyn McCrae, Class of 2020, worked very hard to get to the point where today she should be waiting for the big moment when she will cross the stage in Dawson Stadium (where she was a cheerleader for Bulldog football) to bask in the glory and satisfaction of receiving her South Carolina State University degree. 

The communications major who hails from Concord, N.C., like hundreds of other SC State graduating seniors, will be denied this special moment due to the coronavirus crisis that has shut down the school since mid-March. 

For an assignment in Professor Kat Landes' class, McCrae produced this thoughtful and emotional video about losing the graduation ceremony. Click on her image to view it. 

The university is planning a virtual ceremony for May graduates. That, of course, will not be the same. Details are forthcoming on when and how the online graduation will be held. 

Congratulations Jaelyn. Your future is bright with promise!
