The Columbian College of Arts & Sciences (CCAS) celebrated the Class of 2020 during four livestreamed ceremonies showcasing graduates of the CCAS doctoral, master’s and undergraduate programs. Among the featured speakers was President and CEO of The Metropolitan Museum of Art Daniel Weiss, BA ’79, who challenged graduates to embrace this “unprecedented” moment. “When the world is disrupted, there are opportunities to learn…chances to do things better.” CCAS Dean Paul Wahlbeck congratulated graduates for their “resilience in the face of difficulty” and encouraged them to resist the temptation to look inward. GW’s university-wide Commencement also featured remarks from scholars and students, and video messages from the graduates themselves.
