Congratulations to our 2021 Graduates

Professor Emeritus and then-director John van Engen presiding over the 2016 Medieval Institute Graduation Ceremony

Each May the Medieval Institute conducts an intimate, all-Latin graduation ceremony in the atmospheric Alumni Hall Chapel.

In this second year of the coronavirus pandemic, we are honoring our graduates again with video tributes and an online open house on Saturday, May 22, 2021. Our director, director of undergraduate studies, and the advisor of our Ph.D. graduates have recorded congratulatory videos celebrating the accomplishments of their students.

The playlist will be live on our YouTube channel on Saturday, May 22, and a Zoom open house will be held from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. 

The Institute congratulates all of these fine scholars on their hard work and achievements, and wishes them every success.
