UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGNTO OUR GR ADUATES
Today you are graduates of the University of Illinois. It is a remarkable
achievement, and we hope that you celebrate the occasion with loved ones.
Commencement is a joyous and deeply symbolic event for all, including the faculty
members and staff who have supported you on your journey. It is profoundly
disappointing that we are unable to celebrate it together this spring. The Class
of 2021 will long be remembered, however, for not only what was lost, but
for your resilience and determination as you finished your degree in the face
of one of the greatest challenges in our nation’s history. Congratulations,
and we look forward to learning of your future success.ORDER OF EXERCISES
