Anne Marie Leland, the director of community education for Faribault Public Schools, finished her Doctor of Education degree last March but due to the pandemic, had to wait until December to officially participate in the formal graduation ceremony.
The online ceremony conducted by Minnesota State University, Moorhead included all bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degrees conferred through the MSUM College of Education through 2020. The ceremony included all the usual pomp and circumstance complete with graduation speeches, awards, music and revelry. Outside audiences were able to link in to cheer for their favorite graduate.
