Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the graduating class of 2020 must adapt to new ways of celebrating their achievements\u2013\u2013but their hard work will certainly not be unrecognized.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It appears that the graduation ceremonies will take a virtual route this May, which will surely make history books. While this pales in comparison to a physical celebration (Although speaking from personal experience, traditional ceremonies are rather underwhelming and tedious), there\u2019s always the option to celebrate with family and friends at a later date. After all, the achievement of graduating is everlasting.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 15th, Oprah Winfrey will address America\u2019s graduating seniors through a live-streaming event organized by Facebook Watch. Awkwafina, Simone Biles and Jennifer Garner will speak along with Oprah. The multi-hour livestream will also include performances from Lil Nas X and Miley Cyrus.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs students head toward graduation, it\u2019s not the day they might have imagined \u2014 no processions, no diploma handoffs, no parties,\u201d wrote<\/a> Marne Levine, Facebook\u2019s VP of global partnerships, business and corporate development. \u201cBut graduating is a tremendous achievement, and worth pausing to celebrate even in these circumstances.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tune into the graduation ceremony at 1:00 p.m. ET on May 15th via Facebook Watch and Instagram.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
