STATE COLLEGE — These scenes Friday were familiar to anyone who has visited Penn State on commencement weekend: Graduating students in blue caps and gowns taking photos on the grass outside Beaver Stadium; women snapping their reflections in the “We Are” sculpture near Bryce Jordan Center; and, of course, a long wait for more cap-and-gown photos at the Nittany Lion Shrine.
Not that things were entirely back to normal. There were still signs of the pandemic in the masked photographers, the masks that joined the mortarboards, and the socially distanced line outside Berkey Creamery.
