Dear Dept. of English Class of 2021,
- A virtual celebration for the Dept. of English class of 2021. We will be partnering with StageClip to host a virtual celebration and processional. Department of English students will have the opportunity to contribute personalized content for an individual clip to be shown during the processional and shared with friends and family. Graduating students should keep an eye on their email inboxes for messages from StageClip about uploading their content.
- In-person departmental ceremony or ceremonies, timeline TBD. We want you to know that we are committed to offering the Classes of 2020 + 2021 a chance to participate in a departmental ceremony once it is safe to gather in-person. We don’t yet know when this will be possible, but we feel strongly that you have earned the right to celebrate and be celebrated with your peers, professors, and loved ones. We can’t say for certain whether this will be a standalone ceremony for the Class of 2020 + 2021, or whether we will be inviting you to celebrate alongside future graduating classes. But, we do know that we intend for each of you to proceed across our stage, if that is what you would like to do.

Please note that the information below describes our typical departmental event, which has been postponed for June 2020 + 2021.
The departmental event is a smaller, more personal ceremony for our graduates and their families. You will be able to celebrate your accomplishment with your fellow classmates and the English department’s faculty. Around 250 English and American Literature & Culture majors participated last year.
Participating students do not need a ticket but must confirm that they are attending. Each participating student may order (4) free guest tickets and up to (4) additional tickets for $12.00 each. There will be a wait list for additional ticket orders.
