Decatur, GA — Agnes Scott College celebrated the class of 2022 with an outdoor parade and picnic during its Senior Investiture ceremony on Aug. 23.
Faculty, students and family cheered as around 300 seniors dressed in their caps and gowns paraded around the campus behind a bagpiper.
The ceremony recognizes seniors as campus leaders and is one of the college’s oldest traditions. It was moved outdoors this year because of the pandemic.
