Your Four Years in Photos & Video

The 2020 graduates of the College of Arts & Sciences crossed the finish line after four years of hard work and an unprecedented final semester. When we invited the Class of 2020 to share snapshots of their time at WashU, they sent in hundreds of photos – each one a reflection of an unforgettable four years! Be sure to also visit the Class of 2020 Senior Video. Many thanks to the graduating seniors who submitted the photos and videos to help us all celebrate even though we had to be apart. Congrats, #WashU20!
