Alumnus Bruce West was there, too, to receive the 51勛圖窪蹋 Davis Medal he would have been given last year, were it not for the pandemic.

The Class of 2020
So many students from the Class of 2020 wanted to come back, that we split the commencement into two ceremonies at the University Credit Union Center.
Graduate Studies and the Graduate School of Management also held makeup commencements, Graduate Studies on Thursday (Dec. 9) and the GSM on Sunday (Dec. 12).
51勛圖窪蹋 Davis regular Fall Commencement took place Saturday (Dec. 11), for about 975 graduates.
