The class of 2025 said their goodbyes to the Banks of the Old Raritan on May 15 with a boisterous ceremony at the State Theatre New Jersey in downtown New Brunswick.
“I think there is magic in art and therefore in all of you,” student speaker Molly McInturff said to her fellow students.
“Power shifts. Money evaporates. Empires crumble. Tyrants die. But art goes on forever,” Rutgers alum and Emmy-winning screenwriter and producer Chris Markus (Avengers: Infinity War; Avengers: Endgame) told the crowd of nearly 1,600, including 283 graduating students.
Families and friends celebrated the class of 2025 afterward with a reception that included cake, wine, and a jazz trio next door at the Civic Square Building.
