Classes of 2020 & 2021

Your perseverance is admired, commended and to be celebrated. Amid the pressure of a pandemic, you stepped up. You continued your studies –mostly if not entirely remotely – and earned a well-deserved prestigious University of Portland degree. We know that as you have gone on to make a difference in the world, the University of Portland remains your home.

For the health and safety of all, we were not able to gather in person to celebrate your great accomplishment. And thankfully, there has been a sea of change in the past two years. We are eager for the chance to be together again! I hope you and your families will return to The Bluff this June for a special Commencement Celebration during Alumni Reunion Weekend. 

COMMENCEMENT CELEBRATION ACTIVITIES

Please join us Friday, June 24, 2022, for a day of fun and festivities as we celebrate you, our remarkable ’20 & '21 alumni. Events include:

• A special Mass for you and our alumni family in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher at 12:05 p.m.
• An outdoor, in-person Commencement Celebration on the Academic Quad at 2:00 p.m. During this time registered graduates will have their names read, walk across the stage, and pose for a picture with University leadership. (Similar to an event held in May for the Class of 2021.)
• A reception and dinner at the Welcome Soirée & Alumni Awards at 6:00 p.m.

Click here for an electronic copy of the Commencement Celebration program. These activities are brought to you as part of our 2022 Alumni Reunion Weekend. You will need to register via the All-Access Weekend Pass to participate in the Commencement Celebration.

ALUMNI WEEKEND EVENTS

We hope you’ll stay on The Bluff for all the 2022 Reunion Weekend events, including Dance at the Dock, our signature barbeque, a special Class of 2020 and 2021 Pub Party and much more!

Look for additional event and registration information, please refer to the paper invitation that was mailed to your home in March. 

GUESTS WELCOME

Parents, siblings, spouses, family members, and guests are warmly invited to attend! Simply add additional Weekend Passes when you complete your registration. For those unable to join us, a live stream of the Commencement Celebration will be offered. 

DETAILS TO COME

More information about the live stream link, caps and gowns, and other details will be shared in the coming weeks.

I hope to see you in June and, as always, Go Pilots!

Sincerely,

Herbert A. Medina
