This month would have been action-packed for college seniors, and the ITA wanted to do something special virtually for all the athletes missing out on Senior Days, graduations, NCAA championships and final seasons.

Former college standouts turned WTA and ATP pros all took part in the campaign #Set4Success to share positive messages with seniors navigating the impact of COVID-19 during their final season in school.

Here's a roundup of all the great posts congratulating seniors and sending them onward to further success:

John Isner:

Congratulations to the @UGAtennis seniors for graduating from @universityofga. We all know this wasn’t the way you guys thought this would end, but all of you are without a doubt #Set4Success for life after college. pic.twitter.com/OoIYFyuIGk

Congratulations to all the seniors. Sorry you don’t get the experience of walking and collecting that diploma you earned with all of that hard work. (But I try to convince myself it’s ok to not have done that) #set4success ⁦@HarvardMTennis⁩ pic.twitter.com/ATo6BMJQtR

While college seniors have lost the spring 2020 season, they did get granted a fifth season of eligibility if they choose to use it—and they all still got to continue pursuing their degrees online.
