The »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ celebrated the graduation of more than 16,000 students this spring, some 13,000 of whom crossed the stage inside Convocation Hall, cheered on by friends and family.
Many members of the Class of 2024 began their studies at »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ amid the early periods of the COVID-19 pandemic, showcasing admirable resilience and perseverance on their way to earning their degrees.
The ceremonies, held June 3-21, featured traditions that date back more than a century alongside more recently introduced elements such as the Eagle Feather Bearer leading the chancellor’s procession – and the inaugural appearance of the Eagle Feather Bearer’s Stole.
Here are some of the highlights of spring convocation ceremonies as captured by »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ photographers:
