As the class of 2021 at the University of Mississippi trades their school clothes for a cap and gown this week for graduation, the seniors are having mixed feelings over their graduation and the extenuating circumstances regarding it.
In adherence to the safety measures of the university, this year’s graduation will be divided by academic school, location, varying sessions and time slots. The ceremony – limited to a small number of family and friends – will also require each person in attendance to respect social distancing boundaries and wear a face mask.
Seniors Ariel Riley and Austin Newcomb are among the thousands of students preparing to begin their journey outside of the University.

Mississippi Senate Bill 2536, the anti-transgender bill aimed at banning trans athletes from participating in women’s sports, passed last week. The fact that we even have to be releasing this op-ed just days after International Women’s Day is a disappointing reality that sometimes comes with living in this state. As a refresher, it passed through the Mississippi House of Representatives 82-28, and the Mississippi Senate 34-9.
This Senate bill, quite frankly, is dangerous. It perpetuates unsubstantiated claims of athletic advantage that have continued to be refuted, cultivates an environment that actively encourages students to either stand with or stand against trans students and openly introduces us to potential sanctions from the NCAA. How something so problematic managed to make it through state legislature is embarrassing and serves as another demoralizing reminder of the work that still needs to be done across this state.
