Because of the pandemic, the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences held a virtual graduation ceremony on Dec. 18 at sbs.arizona.edu. 

Matt Harelson, a strong supporter of the School of Journalism, was the guest speaker during the winter convocation. Matt and his brother, Scott Harelson, are both UA graduates. They inducted their late parents — Hugh and Jan Harelson — into the J-school's Hall of Fame in 2018.

"This isn’t the graduation I would have ever imagined, but nevertheless it’s here," B.A. graduate Jesse Tellez said on Facebook. "I’m so excited to begin this new journey."
