Celebrating the Class of 2020

This season, we honor the curiosity, creativity and resilience of LMU's Class of 2020 with a week of virtual celebrations. These activities will not replace in-person commencement exercises, which will take place on campus when it is safe to do so.

Virtual Celebrations

The Class of 2020 and their families are invited to honor their achievements at a virtual celebration this May. The celebrations include live prayer services and a new website of content to help you mark this milestone. The sites will feature pre-recorded video messages, a Shout-Out Wall, and personalized slides for each graduate. The prayer service is the only live event this weekend; the celebration website will be available any time to enjoy and share with loved ones. Note: by request from our families, the website launch time is now 9 a.m. All times are Pacific Daylight Time (PDT).
