R&B Alma Mater
As a special gift to the Class of 2020, and as the Connecticut College alma mater turns 100 this spring, President Katherine Bergeron and her husband, Butch Rovan, put together an updated version of the song, which Bergeron wrote, to conclude the Class of 2020 celebration.
CAMEL MOMENTS
When the decision was made to postpone Commencement until 2021, the seniors decided to create a film compiled from their stories, videos and Camel moments. Viridiana Villalva Salas ’20, orator for next year's ceremony, narrates a poetic tapestry woven from student submissions.
Faculty/Staff Tribute
As a tribute to the Class of 2020, Conn faculty and staff sent in more than 100 videos to share their congratulations and good wishes for our seniors, all of which are reflected in this touching piece.
