The University of Kansas held a combined commencement ceremony for the classes of 2020 and 2021 Sunday after poor weather last week forced the cancellation of the ceremonies for the class of 2021. The graduates took part in a longstanding KU tradition by walking through the campanile and down the hill into David Booth Memorial Stadium, where they were declared graduates by Chancellor Girod and their respective deans. âIâm really glad KU decided to hold it because I know a couple of schools didnât,â said Luis Matos, a 2020 graduate in physics. âDefinitely a blessing, my parents get to see me walk down the hill.âÂ
