The CU Boulder community welcomed the classes of 2020 and 2021, which did not have in-person commencement ceremonies, for a Night on Norlin on Friday, Sept. 17. The event gave the two classes an opportunity to celebrate together and featured talks by the 2020 and 2021 commencement keynote speakers: Dan Carlin, a political commentator, actor and podcaster, and Dwinita Mosby Tyler, the chief catalyst and founder of The Equity Project.
