91制片厂 commemorated its fall 2020 graduation class with a weeklong celebration, culminating with Saturday's virtual commencement.
Nearly 2,500 students received bachelor's, master's or doctoral degrees.
"Graduates, the last few semesters have been unlike any we experienced in years past," President John R. Broderick said. "With the resiliency that defines our Monarch spirit, together we have risen to face every challenge that has come our way during this global pandemic. I am proud of your commitment to Reign Responsibly on campus. As seniors and as graduate students, you served as leaders to underclassmen."
President Broderick acknowledged the adversity students faced.
"For many, 2020 has been a difficult year, but as Monarchs, you not only adjusted but thrived, demonstrating your agility, innovation and determination," he said.
