If you ask me what “Donna Martin Graduates” means, my response will consist of opening Season 3 and putting “Something in the Air” into my DVD player.

Congratulations to the class of 2012. You looked great out there today!
Congratulations to vocalist, violinist, composer, and producer Caroline Shaw, who was one of ten individuals to receive an honorary degree from Yale University for distinction in their fields at Yale’s 321st graduation ceremony on Monday. She was given an honorary Mus.D. Shaw earned her master’s degree from Yale in 2007.
“The 10 individuals we honor this morning serve as examples to you, our graduates, to encourage you to aspire to excellence and to value those elements of human character that they embody: creativity, curiosity, discipline, integrity, and a passion for public service,” Yale President Peter Salovey said during the university-wide Commencement ceremony.
The other honorary degree recipients include former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (in memoriam), Congressman James Clyburn, journalist Krista Tippett, historian Jill Lepore, Judge Myron Thompson, gene therapy pioneer Dr. Jean Bennett, cultural sociologist Orlando Patterson, and biochemist Katalin Karikó and immunologist Drew Weissman, whose work was the cornerstone for the development of the COVID-19 vaccine.
Congratulations @mtholyoke Class of 2018! Your “great grandmother class” – the Class of 1918 – wishes you all the best from the Archives!
Here are photos of the Class of 1918 on their graduation day and at their 50th Reunion. As new @mhcalums, we look forward to welcoming you – Class of 2018 – back to campus in the years to come.

Happy Graduation Day, Panthers!
Even though commencement is virtual this spring, we hope you all feel the same joy in your accomplishment as the 2011 UWM graduates in these photographs!
Here at the UWM Archives, we are also celebrating the graduation of our two interns; Samantha with an MA in History and an MLIS, and Lizzie with an MA in Women’s & Gender Studies and an MLIS. We wish them both the best for the future!
These photographs from UWM’s 2011 Spring Commencement Ceremony can be found in the UW-Milwaukee University Communications & Media Relations Photographs digital files here at the UWM Archives.
