The Transcript This past year, COVID-19 reshaped daily life all over the world in ways big and small. For the BU Class of 2021, senior year the culmination of four years of hard work, fun, friendships, growth, and some sacrifice has been a lot different than they ever could have imagined. A year topped by a Commencement ceremony unlike any in BU history, with only grads allowed on Nickerson Field, no proud parents or grandparents or (possibly) bored siblings. Oh, and two ceremonies, one for grad students, one for seniors. Before you graduate, BU Today made sure to preserve one time-honored tradition. Each year before Commencement, we reach out to members of the BU community and ask them to share some words of advice and encouragement with the graduating class. ....

Hawryschuk, one of the best players in the college game, announced on her social media platforms Wednesday afternoon that she will use her sixth year of eligibility to play a final season in the Carrier Dome for Gary Gait. ....
Graduate degree recipients attend the morning ceremony, undergraduates the afternoon ceremony Government COVID-19 gathering limits preclude single ceremony on Nickerson Field The 148th Boston University Commencement on May 16 already historically reconfigured by COVID-19 is getting another unprecedented makeover: it will now consist of two separate ceremonies, a morning one for graduate degree recipients and an afternoon gathering for bachelor’s degree recipients, both on Nickerson Field. The change, announced Friday in a letter to candidates for graduation by President Robert A. Brown, was necessitated by anticipated high attendance, based on a survey of graduating students.
