New Commencement Traditions
The past two years have taught us many lessons– that we are better when we work together, that we should strive for more connections with family and friends, and that we should embrace opportunities to celebrate. We want our Spring 2022 Commencement ceremony and all others that follow to be bigger and better than ever before.
