"It’s been a long 4 years full of celebration. M "It’s been a long 4 years full of celebration. May we remember to take pride in how far we have come and have faith in how far we can go. To all my family and friends, your support over the last 4 years as been invaluable and I can’t thank you enough. Despite of all the madness in the world may we recognize our privilege and our accomplishments and enter the world with an educated mindset. Don’t be afraid to learn and educate each other. Do as your heart desires and learn from one another. We are the Class of 2020! Congratulations to all!" --José Antonio Estrada '20

Message from HNU President Mike Groener: On June Message from HNU President Mike Groener: 
On June 19, 1865, enslaved people in Texas learned of the Emancipation Proclamation two years after it had been issued by President Lincoln. Black Americans have celebrated this day for over 150 years. June 19, now known as Juneteenth, is the oldest nationally celebrated commemoration of the ending of slavery in the United States.

As more people awaken to the unbearable pain and loss that systemic racism has meant for Black lives and for society, this year’s celebration holds special significance. Just as it is an occasion for remembrance and celebration, Juneteenth is also a day for action and education.

Since we cannot honor this occasion in person, I propose that the HNU community take time to reflect, connect, and learn between the hours of noon and 2:00 p.m. today. I plan to take this time to examine my role in systemic racism, and continue my work exploring what it means to be an anti-racist, particularly as it applies to my role as President of this university. I encourage all of our colleagues, including those who do not identify as Black, to commemorate this day in a way that moves us forward. I know that some of you are hard at work hosting Hawk Day for our incoming students. I want to thank you and encourage you to take this time for yourselves the next time you are able.

I look forward to gathering as a campus community, be it virtually or in person, to continue our dialogue about creating and sustaining an anti-racist campus. My Cabinet, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, and I are working to provide us these opportunities during the fall semester.

HNU’s Black Student Union is at Ride Out at Oakland’s Juneteenth at the Lake protest and celebration today. Their presence and action make me proud.

“I feel the Class of 2020 is a class that will g “I feel the Class of 2020 is a class that will go down in history. We will be known for our resilience and our ability to adapt quickly to any situation. We had to learn to navigate our way through  global pandemic and still keep up with our studies. We learned how to be grateful for the small things, like just being able to go outside. I am privileged to be a part of this class. I consider myself to be a double-Hawk as this is the second degree I received from HNU. I am blessed to be a part of this amazing institution. Congratulations to the Class of 2020!” —Veleta Whitfield '14, MBA '20
