While there was no pomp and circumstance on May 9, 2020, 176 Peru State College graduates received their degrees from the college and its president, Dr. Dan Hanson.

Of the 176 recipients, 48 were Bobcat student-athletes.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no formal commencement ceremonies were held. However, all 2019-20 graduates from Peru State will be invited back to “officially” graduate on December 18, 2020.

Stephen Gaines, Watson, Missouri, a former Bobcat football player, was awarded a Master of Science in Education degree.
