By Josh Paine

The University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences will premiere a convocation ceremony video on Thursday, May 7, at 6 p.m. to celebrate new graduates.

The video will be streamed on the CAES YouTube channel at youtube.com/user/ugaagandenvironment.

Students, faculty and staff are encouraged to tune in and use the live chat feature to celebrate the new alumni as they are recognized by name.

“While COVID-19 has impacted our ability to host a traditional commencement, we want to recognize this great milestone in the lives of our students,” said CAES Dean and Director Sam Pardue.

The convocation will include remarks from Pardue as well as CAES Alumni Association President Brent Marable.

The annual CAES student awards and leadership banquet to recognize outstanding seniors as well as other college, university and national honors was canceled, but a list of honorees can be found at students.caes.uga.edu.
