Roughly 1,859 undergrads will be feted at the outdoor ceremony, a step toward normalcy after a one-year pause in 2020 due to COVID-19. Duke did not hold an in-person ceremony for last year's Class of 2020 due to COVID-19 and university officials still plan to celebrate those graduates in person at a later date. Duke's graduates receiving masters degrees will be honored in the coming weeks.
Multiplatinum-selling singer-songwriter, actor, producer and philanthropist John Legend delivered the undergraduate commencement address as he was also awarded an honorary degree during the ceremony. The first African-American man to achieve "EGOT" distinction, having earned Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony awards, Legend is also an active philanthropist and supporter of criminal justice reform.
President Vincent Price also presented honorary degrees to civil rights leader and activist Barbara Arnwine; Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing Professor Jacquelyn Campbell; Harvard University Professor of History and of African and African American Studies Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham; and former Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency William K. Reilly.
"Graduating from Duke means the world to me. Because of its prestigious academic and golf program, Duke has always been my dream school. My four years at Duke has taught me independence, self-discipline, and patience. I also got to explore various academic areas (from statistics, economics, computer science, Japanese, and theater) from the experts. The environment in the classroom was always welcoming and encouraging. I also got to make lifelong friends and teammates, whom I am truly grateful for. Being able to represent Duke on the women's golf team along with my teammates was also an irreplaceable experience. I'm so thankful for everyone who has always been supporting me and making my experience even more unforgettable. Thank you." – Jaravee Boonchant, Women's Golf
"I am so thankful for these last four years I've had as a student-athlete here at Duke. I would like to thank my coaches, teammates, teachers, friends, girlfriend and family for making this journey a once in a lifetime experience. I would not have been able to do this without so many people supporting me and for that I am extremely grateful. Being a member of this program and now graduating from this elite university has been a dream of mine since I was little and is now something I will cherish forever. Thank you to the Duke community and Cameron Crazies for embracing me ever since I stepped foot onto campus. I will truly miss being a student-athlete, but I am so excited for what my future and the future of this program have in store."— Mike Buckmire, Men's Basketball
"My time here at Duke has been an incredible experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life. From forming life-lasting friendships to learning and being guided by some of the brightest intellectuals on the planet, every single second was truly special. I am grateful to all members of the Duke family who aid Duke students in achieving their goals and dreams. Even though my time here flew by like a whirlwind, I will forever know that I am a part of the DukeGang and the Duke family." - Rakavius Chambers, Football
"Whenever I tell people that I'm a Duke student, they are already impressed, but when I also tell them that I'm a varsity athlete at Duke, their jaws drop. I think earning a degree from Duke carries a lot of prestige and will open doors for me in the future. I am forever grateful to Duke for providing me with incredible opportunities to advance not only my career but my personal development as well." – Julia Gianneschi, Fencing
"I couldn't be more grateful for the opportunity to get my degree from a school like Duke. Duke is at the top, both academically and athletically, and I'll always be thankful to Coach Young for giving me the chance to come here. I've grown so much as a person and player and I couldn't be happier with all the memories I've made here." - Jameson Kavel, Softball
"Attending Duke has been an incredible experience - I have learned more than I ever dreamed I would, made long-lasting connections I will value forever, and found my strength and character in unique circumstances. I'm not only getting a degree after four years, but also a forever family. Thank you Duke, and go Blue Devils." – Ema Lazic, Women's Tennis
"Thank you, Duke. I have loved my time at this University but I can confidently say that I am ready, ready to graduate and ready for what is next because of the individuals I have had the pleasure to meet, learn and grow alongside. Duke has given me a tremendous opportunity to educate myself, and experience things every day that have contributed to the person I am and the person I hope to be, and for that I am forever grateful." – Joey Loperfido, Baseball
"It's been a great four years. I think I've grown a lot over the past four years and I've seen the guys in our class grow a lot as well. I think the combination of being at an academically challenging school with such a great lacrosse program challenged us every day and allowed us to excel in all areas of life. It has just been a great experience. There are so many unique and intelligent people who go to Duke so to be among them and get degrees with them and graduate from such a special place means a great deal to me. I'm proud of myself and proud of the work that me and the guys have put in to get that degree. It's such an amazing place so to be among the people to go into that Duke alumni family is a great feeling." – Cameron Mulé, Men's Lacrosse
"Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a collegiate athlete, and I was afraid that, in choosing Duke, I would have to give that up. Walking on to the rowing team was one of the best decisions I've ever made. It's been the privilege of a lifetime to be teammates with my heroes. I am so grateful, every day, for the opportunity to pull hard for the people I love. This degree honors all of those who have supported, challenged and inspired me to pursue excellence in all of my endeavors. I am forever humbled to graduate as a part of the Duke student-athlete community. Go Blue Devils!" – Caroline Olsen, Rowing
"Receiving the opportunity to swim for Duke has allowed me to find such joy and love through the friendships I have developed over my past four years here. With graduation around the corner, I am cherishing every moment I get to spend with the members of my forever Duke family." – Carly Perri, Swimming & Diving
"Getting a Duke degree is far more than words on paper. Getting a degree from Duke means ending college a better person than I was four years ago. Although the lessons in the classroom were important, it was the lessons taught out of the classroom that shaped me into the person I am today. It was the people around me who strive for excellence in every area that pushed me to be the best version of myself every day. Of course getting a Duke degree is an accomplishment of its own, but I think the biggest accomplishment a Duke degree has provided me is the ability to leave this place knowing I'm a better person because of it." - Libby Thompson, Field Hockey
"I am very grateful that I have earned my degree from the best school in the nation. It means a lot to my family and me. I want to thank them for motivating me and for their support. Go Duke." – Jade Williams, Women's Basketball
"Four years flew by just like that, but the moments that I've spent at Duke will be ones that I will always cherish. During my time here, I was always surrounded by a coaching staff, teammates and friends who looked out for me. Those relationships have made my time here so much more meaningful and enjoyable. People ask me what's the best decision I've ever made, and my answer would be attending Duke University." — Qi wen Wong, Men's Golf
