Congratulations on our ZJU graduates!

2020-07-01

It is graduation time for more than 7000 Zhejiang University students as the 2020 spring semester comes to a close at ZJU 7 campuses. ZJU’s newest graduates have plenty to celebrate. They joined the ranks of ZJU alumni this summer, each one proving that when faced with adversity, ZJUers find a way to make it happen.  

While there may have been some bumps along the road, the Class of 2020 persevered, enduring the new stresses of daily life on their fight to the finish line. As the COVID-19 outbreak is well contained in China, after serious consideration and well preparation, the 2020 Convocation for undergraduates and graduates eventually happen as scheduled on June 29 and 30.  

The graduates in the year of 2020 that will be remembered for the COVID-19 pandemic went up on stage, got their diploma, and took photos with university leaders. With that one-minute walk, they reach the pinnacle of their academic studies and are ready to move into the next chapter of their life.  

University President WU Zhaohui sent a congratulatory speech to the graduating class. He called on ZJU graduates to use their knowledge and skills to make a difference and direct the evolution inspired by the challenges.
