Good Vibes: Graduation Season!

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Jun 6, 2022

For our Good Vibes today, we honor those in the Class of 2020 who missed their graduations two years ago and who've recently finally had their commencement ceremonies. We present to you two of the speakers from Wesleyan’s graduation season: the great feminist & writer Gloria Steinem and University of Maryland Baltimore County president, Dr. Freeman Hrabowski III, once named by TIME as one of America’s best college presidents. This weekend, the most recent member to join team All Of It was a member of the Wesleyan Class of 2020, and Luke returned this weekend and got to put on his cap and gown and graduate...again. We have photo evidence!
