Congratulations to each of you in the Class of 2020 and Class of 2021, you have much to be proud of.
In celebrating this great achievement, we recognize how important the Commencement experience is for so many of our graduates.

The official ceremony was divided alphabetically by each student's last name. If you missed the ceremony, you can still watch it. Please use the guidelines below.
