On Saturday, August 17, 2024, graduates gathered in joyous community for CU’s Commencement and Rhode Island Honors Ceremony at McVinney Auditorium in Providence, RI, to celebrate their phenomenal individual and collective accomplishments.
This year, 125 students from Rhode Island, Chicago, Delaware Valley, and our Prison Education Program graduated with their Bachelor's Degrees in Organizational Leadership and Change. Starting off with a raucous procession led by the PVD Drums Corps, graduates were welcomed by a packed auditorium of family and friends, alongside CU faculty, staff, Board members, and alumni. Over a hundred more joined the ceremony virtually via Zoom.
