More than 3,300 UWM students concluded one journey and began another on Sunday. Graduation day holds a special significance for the Class of 2024, which faced the challenges of a pandemic in addition to the typical demands of college life. On Sunday, they gathered with family and friends at the UWM Panther Arena to celebrate their accomplishments and anticipate future endeavors.

"Graduation day is always special," noted one attendee. The event was marked by joy and reflection as graduates shared memories and advice.

The celebration included a photo gallery honoring graduates, streaming videos of both the black and gold ceremonies, and a video focusing on standout graduates who shared their experiences. Additionally, there was a photo gallery featuring several students who secured full-time employment even before graduation.
