The Class of 2024 may not have had a ceremony for their high school graduation due to Covid-19, but on Saturday, May 11, they celebrated the end of their undergraduate studies in full pomp and circumstance.
Commencement speakers Governor L. Douglas Wilder and Congressman Bobby Scott spoke to the Virginia State University audience about the school’s rich history and tradition going back to 1882. They also took the opportunity to talk to the students and audience about the need to vote for those who understand the importance of reinvesting in the education of today’s students.
Here are a few images from the ceremony by Ashlee Porter.
