SU Celebrates the Class of 2021
Congratulations to Salisbury University’s Class of 2021! Graduates completed their degrees under challenging conditions, but Spring Commencement provided the opportunity to have some fun celebrating achievements with family and friends. SU hosted a combination of in-person activities and six virtual ceremonies. A four-day “Grad Walk” allowed grads to cross the stage at Sea Gull Stadium, and enjoy celebration zones around campus for photos. #GoGulls!
In-Person Grad Walk and Celebration Zones
During the “Grad Walk” at Sea Gull Stadium, graduates’ names will be read as they cross the commencement stage. Professional photographers will take formal photographs, and graduates will receive Salisbury University diploma covers. Up to four guests may join to cheer each graduate, with a livestream provided for other friends and family. Afterward, graduates and guests are encouraged to take additional photos at celebration zones around campus. In-person events are designed to comply with COVID-19 public health protocols.
