Columbia’s Commencement week ended two weeks ago. New graduates moved out of university housing to start their lives off campus and the streets of Morningside emptied out for the summer. In September, new and returning students will move in and the streets will vibrate with excitement and energy again.

But in this episode, we're not going to look ahead. Instead, we're going to look back at that height of Columbia excitement and energy: commencement. If you’ve never experienced Columbia’s commencement, that’s ok. We interviewed alumni, faculty, staff and students to give you a glimpse at the day.
