Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Holy Cross conferred bachelor of arts degrees to members of the Class of 2020 as part of a virtual celebration on May 22, 2020. The event, aired live on the College’s website, included congratulatory messages from faculty, staff and alumni, reflections from the senior class, and a surprise message from Dr. Anthony Fauci ’62, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institutes of Health and a member of the White House coronavirus task force.
In addition, a 2020 United Convocation was held on May 22, 2021, providing another milestone and celebration for the Class of 2020. The event came together after working with a group of members of the Class of 2020, including the SGA co-chairs, class president and commencement chair, to determine plans to celebrate Commencement as a class.
