ST AUGUSTINE, Fla. (May 14, 2021) – George Love, of Holmes, graduated with a degree in Marketing from Flagler College on Monday, May 3, 2021 at its spring commencement exercises.

The ceremonies, which were the first in-person commencement observances since 2019, were held in the St. Augustine Amphitheatre. 466 undergraduate degrees were awarded during two ceremonies, which were split due to social distancing protocols.

The commencement speaker was retiring President of Flagler College, Dr. Joseph G. Joyner, whose remarks touched on the graduates’ grit and resilience. Despite facing two hurricanes and a global pandemic during their time at Flagler, the class of 2021 continued to excel as they completed their degrees.
