ONEONTA — After a tumultuous year, SUNY Oneonta is celebrating the graduation of the class of 2021, on Saturday, May 15.

A virtual graduation highlighted student life, achievements and an acknowledgement of the particular difficulties faced during the past year due to COVID.

"Today we acknowledge a major life achievement for not only the graduates but also their families and those they care about," acting president Dennis Craig said during the ceremony. "If we learned anything over the past year it's that our successes are only possible from the support of those we love and those that we have been inspired by."

The ceremony opened with video showcasing student life and videos of congratulations from students and staff. The Leatherstockings District Pipe Band played bagpipes and drums and Zoe Johnson sung the national anthem.

Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also made remarks via video congratulating the class of 2021.
