After a year unlike any other, the University of Tennessee is celebrating with graduation ceremonies unlike any other.
For the first time, students are graduating at Neyland Stadium.

For Haslam College of Business graduates Taylor Sherick, Matteo Sforza and Valentina Rezk, graduation was also a sweet reunion: It was the first time the friends had seen each other in nearly a year because of COVID-19, they said.
