*An earlier version of this story included statistics on the number of students who attended commencement ceremonies, rather than the number of total degrees awarded. These references have been updated.<\/em><\/p>\n After virtual ceremonies were held last year<\/a> due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Marymount University was proud to once again offer in-person, outdoor commencement ceremonies for 2021 graduates this year while also celebrating members of the Class of 2020 as well.<\/p>\n From May 14-16, the University\u2019s commencement ceremonies<\/a> took place on the Converse Family Field<\/a> on Main Campus, and included students who qualified for graduation from the Fall 2020, Spring 2021 and Summer 2021 semesters. For the first time, these ceremonies were organized by College, with undergraduate and graduate students included together, and doctoral students where appropriate.<\/p>\n
