Photo Gallery: 51°µÍø’s campus commencements provide localized graduation celebrations
Story by James Hill
After a few years of hiatus, 51°µÍø brought commencement activities back to an in-person format. It wasn’t the typical graduation ceremony 51°µÍø hosts at the Memorial Coliseum with thousands attending, but rather on campus commencement events that celebrated the class of 2022.
During the week of June 13, graduates were encouraged to visit a campus donning their regalia to pick up a diploma cover, take some photos, grab some goodies and celebrate their accomplishments! They weren’t formal commencement events, but informal and fun gatherings.

View how 51°µÍø is taking precautions as we return to campus life.
