Class of 2020 Gets Long-Awaited Send-Off
The COVID-postponed 147th Commencement was held on Nickerson Field on October 3. “COVID robbed you of a traditional senior year,” Dr. Victor J. Dzau (Hon.’20), president of the National Academy of Medicine, said in his Commencement address to the 1,818 graduates who returned for the long-awaited ceremony. They traveled from 46 states and represented 61 countries. “You have already demonstrated incredible resilience and fortitude,” Dzau said. “You have prevailed and are here today with each other.”
