Posted 1 month ago

Approximately 970 students participated in the University of New Orleans’ fall 2020 virtual commencement presented on Dec. 12. The ceremony, which was streamed live on YouTube, included a roll call of graduates and a keynote address by actor Harry Shearer.

The graduates represented 31 U.S. states and territories, as well as 24 countries.
