Celebrate grads in the state: virtual graduation ceremonies to get in on

Courtney Green, News Editor

The class of 2020 will not get to walk across the stage on the day they had planned to for the last four years. The class of 2020 will not get to turn their tassels with their best friend beside them in the auditorium, stadium, field, theater, or wherever their ceremony might have been held.

But the class of 2020 can celebrate together in a different way now, with the promise of getting the things tradition owes them later. In a way, the class of 2020 will be the first to receive two graduation ceremonies: one virtual and the other in-person in the future.

Several Florida universities are celebrating their graduates this week with virtual commencement ceremonies. Support your fellow graduates around the state by tuning in and checking out their celebrations.
