AKRON, Ohio– A total of 75 student-athletes will earn their degrees during the 2019-20 academic year, including 46 this spring who will have degrees conferred this weekend as part of the 2,584 University of Akron graduates.

The 75 graduates represent 17 of Akron's 20 athletics programs.

Additionally, 20 Zips graduated in Fall 2019, while nine are expected to earn their degrees during Summer 2020.

UA's spring commencement ceremonies have been postponed for now. Alternative dates have not yet been set. Degrees will be conferred on May 9 for graduate and undergraduate students. Digital diplomas will be emailed about a week later, and paper diplomas will be mailed a short time after that.

"We are extremely proud of our graduates for their dedication to finishing classes from home in the midst of so much change," said President Gary L. Miller. "We miss them tremendously and hope to be able to come together at some time in the future to celebrate their accomplishments as Zips. This class will forever carry a special designation as those who overcame an extraordinary challenge and succeeded in their ambitions. We are so proud of them."

Swimmer Jessica Bonezzi (Wooster, Ohio) is one of six students selected by the University as a Class of 2020 Student Speaker.

Families, friends, Zips fans and student-athletes can help celebrate this moment by sharing their photos, memories and more on social media by using the hashtags #ForeverAZip, #IamaZip, and #IamAkron.
