This May, the University's newest graduates officially became alumni, joining a network of more than 130,000 Wildcats worldwide in 50 states and 94 countries across the globe. With CDC recommendations loosening up the day before Villanova’s Commencement activities kicked off, graduates and their two guests were able to breathe a little easier at this year’s ceremonies. While it’s impossible to measure joy, here’s a look at a few of the numbers that illustrate what a massive celebration it was.
