With newer guidelines advising smaller gatherings, we will no longer have anything for Match Day in person for class of 2020.
But we do have some WONDERFUL news to share. We found out yesterday that all members of our class of 2020 matched to residency, continuing our school's 100 percent match rate!
Even though we can't celebrate in person, we can't wait until Friday when we find out where they are headed. If you know a member of class, be sure to send them an email, text, or a phone call to say CONGRATS!
Match Day for the Class of 2020 is scheduled for March 20, 2020.
Class of 2020 Virtual Match Day
Congrats class of 2020 on your 100% Match! In lieu of our normal festivities, please enjoy these virtual Match Day remarks from Dean Learman and Aubrey Knight.
[DEAN LEARMAN] Well it's match day, and here we are in the auditorium where we wished we could be together for this very special day, pinning your match locations on this map.
[AUBREY KNIGHT] Every year this is the most exciting week of the year. Of course, this week was even more so, by the moment by moment cautions and recommendations that came our way due to the coronavirus pandemic. I want to take this moment, to thank you, the students of the class of 2020, for not adding to my stressful week. We knew on Monday everyone had a residency spot.
[DEAN LEARMAN] A successful match is a triumph for each individual and each group of family, friends, helpers and supporters that made the journey possible. You have so much joy to share, we can feel it even at this distance.
[DEAN LEARMAN] We would like to lift a glass in honor and toast to you as the class of 2020. May you hold firm to that which has gotten you this far. And may you let loose of that which constrains you. Here's to your success, happiness, and impact on the world.
[BOTH]To the class of 2020
[DEAN LEARMAN] Cheers!
