The 2020-21 school year was different from any other in the history of the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, so it was fitting that it concluded with commencement ceremonies as unique as the times in which they were held.
CSB’s graduation ceremony was held Saturday, May 15, and the SJU graduation ceremony followed on Sunday, May 16, both under sunny skies at Clemens Stadium on the Saint John’s campus.
It marked the first time graduation ceremonies have been held on SJU’s football field since 1961. The Abbey Church was consecrated later that year and SJU graduation ceremonies have been held there ever since.
