Many 2020 Grads Return for Ceremony Postponed a Year Ago

LEBANON – Smiling behind face masks, with congratulatory fist bumps replacing handshakes and hugs, the McKendree University community united—and reunited—to celebrate its graduates’ success.
Members of the Class of 2021 received their diplomas at three ceremonies on Saturday, May 8 at the Lebanon campus—the College of Arts & Sciences and School of Education at 8 a.m.; the School of Business and School of Nursing and Health Professions at 11 a.m.; and all postgraduate students at 2:30 p.m.
The university is conferring a total of 667 degrees in 2021—35 doctoral, 181 master’s, 446 bachelor’s and five associate degrees—on students who completed their program requirements in December 2020, and in May and July 2021. A total of 124 students graduated with Latin honors (pending final grades for the spring and summer terms): 21 summa cum laude, 55 magna cum laude and 48 cum laude. Eighteen graduates were members of the university’s honors program. The new graduates represent 29 states, 16 countries, and the U.S. Armed Forces.
McKendree spread six smaller ceremonies over two days this year. On Friday, May 7, many Class of 2020 graduates returned for their traditional ceremony delayed by the coronavirus last spring. Students were allowed a limited number of guests to comply with the state’s COVID-19 guidelines for large gatherings. Chairs were spaced several feet apart and all ceremonies were live-streamed.
“In this COVID-designed celebration, we have taken our unique traditions and our McKendree family and tried to make it smaller, so we can celebrate together in a special way, yet apart,” said President Daniel Dobbins, a 1981 McKendree graduate.
Some of the new graduates wore green ribbons symbolizing the “Graduation Pledge Alliance,” a promise “to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of any job I consider and try to improve these aspects of any organizations for which I work.”
