Looking forward to seeing the Class of 2020 walk OUT OF the Van Wickle Gates. Hoping that University and Class of '20 leadership are working TOGETHER to support this important and well-earned tradition.

Claire, her parents, and us, her grandparents ( plus more who are deceased) have all graduated from Brown. We want to attend graduation and have a picture of the five of us at the gates.

The class of 2020 deserves an in-person recognition. They worked very hard to for their achievements. Now it's time for the administration to work a little harder.

Typical of Brown to make the worst decisions possible that harm the most amount of students. Sad, but not shocking!

Would be wonderful for 2020 graduates to be able to celebrate together in person when it becomes safe to do so. Walking through those gates in your cap and gown is such a quintessential part of the Brown experience, it would be a shame for graduates not to be able to have that experience, especially when Brown made such a point of highlighting how important it was to make sure that tradition is maintained for all graduates.

I am deeply disappointed that Brown has made zero effort to afford the class of 2020 an in-person commencement ceremony, despite the fact that the insultingly low quality of the YouTube video posted as our 2020 commencement was justified by the promise of a future in-person event. I do not intend to donate anything to Brown U. in my lifetime if this is not remedied.

An in-person ceremony is much needed! With all that 2020 brought to students a celebration is very appropriate to bring closure. Make this happen for the class of 2020! This is a celebration for students, family, and friends.

There is absolutely no reason that Brown was okay delaying graduation one year ago but can’t delay it until 2022 now. We deserve it!!

We deserve commencement (ESP. US FIRST-GEN FOLKS. COME ON. THIS IS MORE THAN A GRADUATION FOR US.) I hadn’t realized it was canceled altogether. Unacceptable.

Since March I have been severely depressed. My mom and grandfather passed away with covid, my boyfriend of 5 years dumped me and I haven’t gotten into a single grad program nor gotten a real job. It has been a tough and lonely year. My new year’s resolution was to move on, work on myself, and become someone I am proud of by our make-up graduation when I hoped to finally see and reconnect with friends....
Really hoping I get that opportunity. Can’t believe I’ve spent a year inside and now will watch all my friends at other schools have an in person graduation.

It is important that the class of 2020 be celebrated in-person. They have worked hard and deserve to be celebrated, recognized, and honored. The year 2020 has left a bitter taste on all levels for the students( academically, athletically, and socially). This should not be taken away from them. They have been robbed of so much joy and honoring them so their families can feel a sense of accomplishment, peace, and closure is imperative.
