The CUKC Spring 2020 graduating class is petitioning to have their Doctor of Chiropractic commencement rescheduled to an available weekend during the summer trimester. Choosing and available date in May or June would be the best way to truly recognize the hard work and dedication of these graduating D.C. students. A separate commencement is important for this class in order to truly honor the achievements they have had as a class throughout their chiropractic schooling— a commencement with their class Valedictorian, their class reps, their chosen speakers etc.
Sharing a graduation with another class is not honoring to either class.

We worked extremely hard for this moment. I understand no one could have predicted this happening, but it doesn’t mean we should be robbed of our graduation and belittle our big achievement!
With many of the individuals who should have walked this spring opening their own practices in the next couple of months, they can’t put everything on hold till August. Surely, a weekend can be spared during the summer Tri for a ceremony. I believe they have earned that right and Cleveland should respect that.
Please consider planning rescheduling the Spring Grad ‘20 graduation as its on event and condensed with the Fall Grad class.
Earning a DC is no easy task and each graduating class should be recognized with their cohorts.
we’ve all worked so hard over the last 3.5 years and i truly think we, as a class, deserve to have our own day for graduation. we understand that this has never happened before and it’s new to everyone but i think we could all agree that we could find a weekend between may and august that we would be able to agree on for a separate graduation ceremony. i feel like that goes for both our current tri 10 class and the tri 9 class right below us. they also deserve to have their own graduation day as they’ve worked just as hard to get to that point.
This is important!
While I have no issue with the Spring 2020 class walking with us in August, I believe that it is important that they get their own ceremony recognizing their specific achievement.

Thank you for all of the hard work everyone behind the scenes is doing. As a class, it is of most importance to have a day dedicated to our tri. The last 3.5 years we have grown as colleagues and have been each other’s support system through it all. Ive made life long friends with them and couldn’t imagine this day with any other group. Thank you.
