Miami University held in-person commencement ceremonies for its more than 4,000 graduates May 14-16, They also held an additional ceremony at 7 p.m. May 13 for its Class of 2020, whose in-person ceremony was canceled last year because of the pandemic.
“Commencement is a beloved tradition and our opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of our students as they reach this milestone in their academic journey,” President Gregory Crawford said. “The pandemic has shaped this last year in many ways, and in the face of the unprecedented challenges, these students have shown remarkable creativity, flexibility, and fortitude. We are thrilled to be able to recognize their achievements in person this spring.”
The ceremonies incorporate remarks from 2021 Commencement speaker Dr. Carolyn Jefferson-Jenkins and allowed graduates in attendance to be individually recognized as they walk across the commencement stage.
Miami University photographers Scott Kissell, Jeff Sabo and Ricardo Trevino were on hand to capture the moments.
