- [Newscaster] This is just coming into our newsroom.
Starting Monday, ASU is moving all of its in-person classes
to online classes,
in order to protect students from the coronavirus.
President Michael Crow announces.

- There's still something to be said
about the uniqueness of going down
in the history books as the one and only class
to ever do this.
Everyone keeps saying you'll tell your grandkids about this,
but it kinda is pretty true.
This is such a unique experience for everyone.
- I think that it's unfortunate that we don't get to have
the normal graduation, but I think just with life experience
that we just have to keep pushing forward.
- When I think about what I want to do with my degrees,
whether in the more traditional settings
of a university or some sort of educational space,
or through community outreach,
I definitely want to continue my learning
and continue others' learning.
And so part of that, I think,
definitely includes graduate school (laughing).
Probably a lot of it.
I'm gonna celebrate my accomplishments by just chilling
with my family, just enjoying this time,
eating some good food and just working out.
Just have, like I said, having a summer at home.
I love Arizona State, and I'm a Sun Devil for life.
It's really special to make my family proud,
because I think about all the late nights
that I spent studying,
all the second jobs that I got to be here today,
and all the different activities that I did
to build my resume
so that I could get a good job after college.
Being able to make them proud is really special
because it wasn't just an investment
on my part to be here at ASU,
it was an investment on their part.
Go Devils.
