Shaw said the Class of 2020 was “stunningly diverse by all possible measures,” with first-year students coming from all 50 states and 69 countries.

“Fifteen percent of you are among the first in their families to attend a four-year college,” he said.

Shaw said the transfer class of 39 students, the largest in recent years, includes seven military veterans.
