Soon-to-be graduates from Earlham College organized an early commencement ceremony on Friday, March 13, following an announcement to suspend in-person classes on campus as a result of ongoing concerns related to the spread of COVID-19/coronavirus.

“Seniors took lemons and made lemonade by deciding to hold a graduation ceremony for themselves,” Earlham President Anne Houtman said. “I’m so honored that they invited me to be a part of it. I’m so very proud of them; they are showing that amazing Earlham spirit that I see here every single day.”

Since the announcement to shift to remote classes was made on March 12, the students had just a day to bring it together. The impromptu ceremony took place at Druley Performance Gymnasium in the Athletics and Wellness Center. Original poetry, music, student stories, faculty reflections, and a conferring of premature degrees, was included in the hour-long event.
