    Class of 2021–Congratulations!!! You have shown some serious grit in persevering through unprecedented times–and yet, you have excelled nonetheless. We can’t wait to see what you will accomplish next. You should be incredibly proud of yourselves– we are so proud of you!

  5. Shannon Williams

    Hey you did the thing! I graduated from BoCo in 2019, so I just barely missed the craziness that you all experienced, and I really admire how you have all made it to this important milestone during what was probably some of the most frustrating semesters ever. (That sounds really dramatic but I mean, am I wrong?) Anywho, you all are amazing and I hope you can take a moment or two to breathe.

  6. Sally Blazar

    Congratulations to you all, Class of 2021! Graduating from Berklee is such an accomplishment at any time – we know how many classes you take at a time, plus practicing, plus jobs, plus dodging traffic on Mass. Ave – but even more so this year, having your last semesters be during the Covid pandemic, with classes online. All of us faculty, staff, and administration are cheering you on, wishing that we could celebrate with you in person and that you could bask in your graduation in front of us and your families. YAY for you!

  7. Nick Poché (Director, ISS)

    To ALL Graduates — and Faculty and Staff, too. A FAN-tastic accomplishment, but more so given the challenges of this year. You all should be immensely proud. We have “zoomed” through the year to this fitting conclusion.

    We miss, terribly, hearing your voices and instruments “live,” being close physically, enjoying meals or coffee and impromptu street encounters. Nonetheless, we have felt your “presence” in every phone call, text, email, video, zoom, slack, youtube, etc., and of course, ANY performance (of which we feel blessed because there were so many). Congratulations to all, but especially Ellis!! ~ Best wishes, Larry & Cindy
