In a long-awaited celebration, the Bucknell Class of 2020 returned to campus for Commencement, kicking off a memorable weekend that included the traditional Candlelighting ceremony and, finally, the crossing of the stage on Malesardi Quad. More than 500 of the 869 class members soaked in the experience, taking their victory lap as one of Bucknell’s most resilient classes.
Class of 2020 President Arianne Evans called out the “legendary, history-making, resilient, brave and mighty” character of her classmates.
“We’ve been eagerly awaiting this day so that we can personally congratulate you here, in the heart of campus, in the way you truly deserve.”
