COVID-19 has changed commencement ceremonies across UCF, the nation and the world. As 117 College of Medicine students graduate Friday, they, like so many others, will have a virtual ceremony./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/109455/n

To make the long-distance commencement more personal, the medical school asked each student to send a video or photo that will play when their name is read.

Others did mini-home videos featuring digital animation./news/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/109455/n
