Photo gallery Business grads get their names up in lights

May 10, 2020 ​

In a visual tribute honoring the graduating Class of 2020, the names of graduates  of the Wisconsin School of Business were projected onto the side of Grainger Hall. UW–Madison’s in-person Spring Commencement ceremonies traditionally held at both Camp Randall and the Kohl Center were canceled due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.
