A sea of caps top the heads of the graduates during the 2020 Commencement Ceremony on the Mall on Nov. 5. The ceremony was held during this year's Homecoming, a year and a half after students received their diplomas in May 2020 as the original ceremony was cancelled on account of the pandemic.
The University of Arizona will host numerous convocation events to celebrate students graduating in the winter of 2022.
