Thousands of UW–Madison’s graduating seniors made a triumphant return to Camp Randall Saturday for an undergraduate commencement ceremony that was both a jubilant celebration of all they’ve achieved and a defiant response to a devastating year.
Getting to the finish line was not easy global pandemic, racial strife, mental strain, economic collapse.
“This class has arguably endured the toughest circumstances at UW–Madison since the Greatest Generation,” said Michael Sauer of Hammond, Wisconsin, who graduated with a double major in economics and political science.
