SARASOTA, Florida — Following what some students and supporters would describe as a tumultuous final semester, 90 students from New College of Florida’s graduating class celebrated in grand fashion at the student-led “Commencement On Our Terms” alternative graduation event on Thursday night, inside Sarasota Art Museum near downtown Sarasota.
Dozens of unique costumes that displayed many graduates’ individual personalities filled the museum courtyard as graduates embraced family members, faculty, alumni and friends among the crowd of around 400 guests throughout the evening.
