The Commencement Drive is one of the university’s newest traditions that debuted in 2020 amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and it keeps growing each semester.

Graduates were encouraged to decorate their vehicles, wear their regalia and honk their horns to celebrate their achievement with the Roadrunner community.
