This class had the unique distinction of being the first in department history to have a virtual commencement ceremony! It was nevertheless just as special, with touching and fun presentations that the students contributed. They also had faculty and staff sing, talk — or otherwise! — for a compilation video to Vera Lynn's "We'll Meet Again."
