Commencement 2021
Dickinson Honors class of 2021 With Virtual Commencement
Dickinson College honored 485 graduating seniors with a Virtual Commencement Ceremony Sunday, May 23, during which Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder urged the graduates to change the world.
“The fact that you chose to enroll in one of the world's preeminent colleges, and that you're now graduating into this crucible, means that you're right where you belong and right where we need your energy, your ideas for leadership, the most,” said Holder, who addressed the class via a prerecorded video.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which still prevents large gatherings, Dickinson held its 2021 Commencement virtually via Facebook Premiere. Graduates participated in the tradition of walking down the Old West steps during Graduate Recognition Ceremonies recorded last week. Video of the graduates walking as well as Holder’s address and the presentation of faculty and student awards were then broadcast on the college’s Facebook page during the virtual event.
