Susan and I recently sat on the porch for the last time to discuss the fondest memories of our time at Flagler. Although bittersweet, I can't wait to see where the future takes this wonderful campus. We wish the absolute best to all of our Saints!

I am humbled to receive the distinction of Honorary Alumni from our Alumni Board this year. It is bittersweet to not have the opportunity to see our alumni in person, but I am incredibly proud of this institution, as well as our #FlaglerFamily.

Today will be my last commencement ceremonies as I watch our Public Administration and Tallahassee campus graduate. I couldn't be more proud to help honor them for this momentous achievement. Class of 2021, you will always be my favorite!

I'm honored to be celebrating the Class of 2021, a class I saw come in as freshmen the first year of my presidency at Flagler College. Although bittersweet, I want to extend my sincerest congratulations to our graduates. Congratulations, Class of 2021!

I couldn't be more proud of our graduates who walked across the stage yesterday to receive their diplomas. As your commencement speaker, I felt honored to share in this momentous occasion with you. Class of 2021, you are "virtually" my favorite class ever. Congratulations Saints!

I feel loved and honored after yesterday’s Day of the Joyners celebration. Thank you to everyone who came out and all those who put time and effort into organizing an outstanding event. These last four years have brought such joy to Susan and me, and we will never forget it.

It was an honor to celebrate our President's List Award recipients last week with a small, socially distant ceremony. These students have worked incredibly hard, and I couldn't be more proud to recognize them. Congratulations, Saints!

[Dr. Joseph G. Joyner @JosephGJoyner]

I extend my gratitude to our faculty & staff who've been preparing for our students' safe return. Lets continue exemplifying our Core Values by wearing a mask, practicing physical distancing, & being thoughtful stewards of each other. Welcome back, Saints!

I'm honored to accept the State of Florida Proclamation from the St. Johns County Legislative Delegation recognizing my upcoming retirement. It's been an honor to serve the St. Johns County community. Susan & I can’t wait to see where this next chapter of our lives takes us.
