Brad Pitt recently joined the growing list of public figures sending well-wishes to the class of 2020.
Missouri State University shared a video with a message for graduates from the Academy Award-winning actor on Monday.
Clif Smart, the public university's president, introduced the actor's message alongside the school's mascot, Boomer the Bear.
"Our students always say that Missouri State University and Springfield feel like home," Smart said. "It's just a place where people always remember where they've come from. Brad, take it away."
"Hi everyone. Brad here from quarantine with a shoutout to the graduating class of Missouri State University," the actor, who is from Springfield, Missouri, shared in the video.
