Members of Berklee Online’s graduating class head to Boston from around the world to attend Berklee College of Music’s 2023 Commencement ceremony. Read the stories of seven stand-out graduates who are celebrating the hard work that led to this milestone.

This is the second year that Berklee’s Commencement will be held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 graduates have been through their share of adversity to get where they are today, but they are stronger, more resilient, and ready to take on the music industry.

Berklee Online’s graduating class of 2020 share stories of resiliency and celebrating virtual Commencement from their own spaces during the coronavirus pandemic.

Berklee Online’s Class of 2018 is full of inspirational students, many of whom took unlikely paths to get here.

When Luis Rivera arrived home in Puerto Rico after last weekend’s festivities in Boston, the first thing he did was place a “Berklee Alumni” sticker on his car.
