This year, BU’s annual Senior Breakfast became Senior Brunch.
On Friday, April 30, the Class of 2021 tuned in to the Zoom ceremony to toast one another and officially kick off Commencement 2021 festivities.
And, of course, to find out who this year’s Commencement speaker would be. Because there will be two separate ceremonies on Commencement day, May 16 one for grad students and another for graduating seniors word came that there will be two speakers: US Representative Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.), a trailblazing politician who briefly attended Boston University, will be the speaker at the afternoon undergraduate ceremony, and Noubar Afeyan, cofounder and chairman of Moderna Therapeutics, Inc., will address students at the morning graduate ceremony.
