Duke Readies to Graduate 6,900 Students
Duke University is set to award nearly 6,900 undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees at commencement celebrations this Sunday. The ceremony will feature comments from commencement speaker Jerry Seinfeld and Duke President Vincent Price. The undergraduate students, of which there are almost 2,000, began their collegiate journeys in 2020, at the height of the pandemic and now, "have proven to be strong, resilient and impressive in myriad ways," said President Price. The commencement ceremonies will also be streamed online.
