Georgetown University Pause Class of 2021 Together Again at Nationals Park for Conferral of Degrees For the first time since Georgetown transitioned to a virtual environment due to the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020, students in the Class of 2021 convened in person to celebrate their commencement at Nationals Park, home to the Washington Nationals Major League Baseball team. President DeGioia addresses the Class of 2021. Georgetown conferred more than 6,500 degrees on Monday at a ceremony for undergraduate students in the morning and a ceremony for graduate and professional students in the afternoon. Ceremonies were also broadcast virtually for graduates, families, friends and members of the Georgetown community who were unable to attend in person.
