HEADLINES
We were able to gather in-person this past May to celebrate the accomplishments of the graduates of the Classes of 2020 and 2021. We are now looking forward to the start of fall semester courses, which will resume on campus in early September. We are so excited to be returning to campus so that we might once again gather in-person and teach in our classroom spaces.
During the month of February we have 24 firms that signed up to participate in 20-minute student “Meet & Greet” sessions we are hosting online via Zoom.

The University recently transitioned to virtual learning in response to COVID-19. And although this situation has led to modifications in how we approach our teaching work, one constant that has not changed is our steadfast commitment to continued excellence in funeral service education.
As we enter a new year in the Program of Mortuary Science, many exciting things are happening here at the U!
