Commencement is a time of great satisfaction and promise; a time to recognize the academic achievements of undergraduate and graduate students and celebrate all the possibilities that lie ahead.
Under sunny skies the morning of Sunday, May 19, the University of Vermont Class of 2024 celebrated the culmination of four extraordinary years of accomplishment at the university’s 223rd commencement, held in front of an overflow crowd of parents, relatives, friends, and other well-wishers on the historic University Green in Burlington.
