Tired of Zoom? Yearning to escape the boxes you\u2019re locked into by virtual meetings? Get ready for USC\u2019s graduation extravaganza for the classes of 2020 and 2021.<\/p>\n

For those of us who have grown accustomed to breakout rooms as a technological innovation, what the university has in store is a huge leap forward. As described, the programming not only should be a welcome treat after a year-plus of the pandemic, but the kind of salute the hard-working members of the Class of \u201921 deserve.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to make people feel like they\u2019re a little more immersed and feel like they\u2019re there,\u201d said Adam Rosen, Associate Vice President for Cultural Relations and University Events at USC.<\/p>\n

Of course, many people will indeed be present for the in-person commencement USC is putting on at the Los Angeles Coliseum \u2014 a series of live events in the massive 98-year-old stadium to be held from May 14-25. The Keck School is actually first up \u2014 8 a.m. on the 14th<\/sup><\/strong> \u2014 but physical distancing will limit the capacity of who will attend. If you\u2019re a student who\u2019s going (and you\u2019re allowed to bring two guests), you already know who you are. Details on the university\u2019s page<\/a> here. Graduates will still walk across the stage, and have their photos taken. Just like in the Great Before.<\/p>\n

(Here\u2019s a list of the in-person ceremonies and details<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The various school graduation celebrations, including the Keck School\u2019s, will still happen virtually, on Thursday May 13.<\/strong> Here\u2019s the schedule by degree program at KSOM:<\/p>\n
