RCAH Commencement 2020

RCAH Class of 2020 Senior Celebration Video

While MSU's in-person commencement ceremonies were postponed, on May 2 at 7 p.m. on RCAH's YouTube channel, we premiered a video that celebrated our seniors in a uniquely RCAH way. Featuring Dean Stephen Esquith, Professor Anita Skeen, student speakers Alé Alvarez-Paines '20 and Michaela Valo '20, the music of Professor Chris Scales, and a video scrapbook of our graduates. Thanks to filmmaker and RCAH alumnus Kirk Mason ’14 for producing this video celebration.

MSU will hold a University-wide virtual commencement ceremony at 10 a.m. EDT on May 16, 2020. For more information, visit commencement.msu.edu.
