2nd Annual Holmes Virtual Graduation Ceremony

Join us for the 2nd Annual Holmes Virtual Graduation Ceremony as we celebrate Holmes Scholars from across the country who have completed their degrees between July 2025 and June 2026.

This special event honors an extraordinary milestone—not only for our graduates, but for the Holmes community and the future of educator preparation. These scholars represent the next generation of leaders advancing equity, strengthening institutions, and shaping the future of education.

The ceremony will feature a commencement address from Shanika Hope, Ph.D., Director for Americas & Knowledge, Skills, and Learning at Google.org, along with reflections from Holmes alumni and student speakers. Graduates will be individually recognized during the calling of names, offering an opportunity to learn more about each scholar’s journey and accomplishments.
