Abstract

The COVID-19 global health pandemic forced institutions across the country to cancel in-person commencement ceremonies and other celebratory events recognizing the class of 2020. Until mid-March 2020, Penn State Dickinson Law planned to award diplomas to its graduates during a traditional commencement ceremony. While the pandemic dishearteningly forced us to cancel these celebrations, Dickinson Law’s administration, faculty and staff seized the opportunity to creatively and compassionately plan alternative strategies to recognize its graduates. In response, Operation Realizing the Dream was born.

Keywords: legal education, class of 2020, pandemic, bar preparation, career services, alumni relations, supporting students
