      Hi, Lisa, Thanks for your question. There was a virtual ceremony for members of the Class of 2024 at the start of the 2020 fall semester, which you can view here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AF2Mftt6qI4 Special welcome-back events were held for the sophomore class on campus on August 28 and 29, 2021.
