PHYSICS & ASTRONOMY
DEPARTMENTAL CONVOCATION
Celebrating the Class of 2020
FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2020
The faculty and staff of the
Department of
Physics and Astronomy
congratulate all our graduates
and wish you continued
success in all your future
endeavors.
Special Message from Dr. Axel Drees, Chair
Dear Graduates,
It is my great pleasure to congratulate you and wish you
all the best for your future. The last two months were ex-
tremely difficult, and most of you were counting on
spending them with your friends at Stony Brook to bring
your time at college to a proper closure. I’m sure all of
you had very different plans for graduation. But, despite
the difficult times and challenges, you have every reason
to cherish your accomplishments and celebrate!
You are one of the 75 new Bachelors of Science, 28
Masters, or 18 Ph.Ds. ! You completed a degree from
one of the best departments in the country. That is an
outstanding achievement that only few are able to attain.
Let me tell you, graduates, we – the faculty of your de-
partment – are really proud of you!
I would also like to thank and congratulate all parents
and friends who have helped and supported you.
Last but not least, I hope that I can congratulate you in
person at our December Convocation for the class of
2020.
Congratulations!
