Class of 2020 Commencement Planned for May 2021
Boston University will give the Class of 2020 “an appropriately festive, in-person Commencement” in May 2021, “on or around” the same weekend it says farewell to the Class of 2021, President Robert A. Brown announced. BU’s original plan to hold the 2020 event in August or early fall of 2020 proved not to be feasible, due to ongoing concerns about the safety of mass gatherings because of the coronavirus pandemic.
