The New Normal: Dean Zlateva Welcomes MET Students in Virtual Ceremony

Boston University’s Annual Matriculation Ceremony occurred on Sunday, August 30—and it was historic for being the University’s first virtual matriculation, another harbinger of the new normal unfolding amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Attending in person were Metropolitan College Dean Tanya Zlateva and the other BU college deans, along with top administrators and a few special guests—socially distant, and all with compulsory mask—while the entering class participated using Zoom. At the end of the ceremony, as each BU school was introduced its students turned on their cameras and mics to cheer and wave.
