Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the college didnât conduct an in-person commencement for its 2020 graduates last year, Forsyth Tech said.
There was no traditional procession of the graduates walking to their seats inside the stadium because of safety precautions, President Janet Spriggs of Forsyth Tech told 300 graduates at the commencementâs Wednesday afternoon event.
A group of 170 graduates received their degrees, diplomas and certificates during the commencementâs Wednesday morning event, said Devin Purgason, a Forsyth Tech spokesman.
Spriggs asked the graduates at both events to stand while the song, âPomp and Circumstance,â was played over the stadiumâs public address system. The crowd consisting of the graduatesâ family members and friends applauded as the graduates stood.

Critics are not required to be right, merely (as Donald Judd said of artworks) interesting. But part of what makes criticism of new art potentially interesting is that it is, in part, a gaze into the future. Remember Clement Greenberg in
The Nation in 1946 predicting of Jackson Pollock’s work, “In the course of time, this ugliness will become a new standard of beauty,” and two years later, venturing that one of the same artist’s paintings “will in the future blossom and swell into a superior magnificence; for the present it is almost too dazzling to be looked at indoors.” Most criticism, of course, doesn’t make its wagers on the future so explicitly, nor should it. Greenberg only unsheathed his crystal ball during those rare moments of highest intensity of feeling, and we should follow that example. Yet still our judgements remain hostages to fortune.
