Genoa, Nev. — An in-person graduation for 2020 graduates of the University of Nevada, Reno, is 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. today, as the university begins four days of commencement ceremonies. The Class of 2021 starts receiving degrees on Thursday.
I spent an hour this morning going through the list of 33 Carson Valley residents who are getting their diplomas on Thursday. I spotted four who had birth announcements in The Record-Courier and a bunch of Tiger athletes. Congratulations to everyone.
Because the university only sends me the list of graduates who list their current address in Douglas, there may well be more that I don’t have. I also don’t have degrees in the list. I know there are a couple of graduate degrees in there. Anyone with a graduate, who isn’t listed, is welcome to send me an announcement.
