Since we weren’t able to gather in person to celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2020, Maryville launched the Show Us How You Celebrate social media challenge. All graduates used #MaryvilleGrad20 and tagged @MaryvilleU in their posts. The challenge fostered a sense of connection and community as our graduates shared how they celebrated this momentous occasion, while maintaining social distancing, of course. Submissions included drive-thru celebrations, top-notch mortarboard designs and senior portrait sessions featuring the Big Red M.
