Wildcat Memories: Highlights from 2021 Âé¶¹ÒùÔºProvidence Commencement

Although this year’s ceremonies did not quite follow tradition, there was no shortage of joyful celebration. Masks and social distancing couldn’t dim the sense of pride as Âé¶¹ÒùÔºProvidence graduates, in full regalia, reflected on their time at Âé¶¹ÒùÔº— and looked ahead to a bright future.

The videos below capture just a fraction of the special memories of the 2020-21 academic year, as well as the big emotions of Commencement Week.

A new tradition this year: “Grad Walks,” which allowed our Classes of 2020 and 2021 to celebrate this major milestone (in socially-distanced fashion, of course) with a jubilant walk across a decorated stage to get their diploma. (This setup allowed for multiple photo opportunities, as well.)

You can also watch the Commencement ceremonies in full on the .
