Nearly 33,000 people attended Stanford University’s 134th commencement at Stanford Stadium on Sunday.
There were 5,271 graduates, the youngest was 18 and the oldest was 67. International undergraduates spanned a range of 90 countries, and advanced degree students came from 119 countries.
Katie Ledecky, the most decorated U.S. female Olympian of all time, and a record-setting former student-athlete was the keynote speaker. She graduated from Stanford in 2020 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and a minor in political science.
“Katie’s story reflects the spirit of Stanford. As a scholar, an athlete, a teammate, and a trailblazer, she models the power of staying curious and collaborative in pursuit of excellence,” Stanford President Jonathan Levin said. “Her accomplishments in the pool and beyond are a testament to her extraordinary drive and determination. She is an ideal speaker to encourage our graduates to redefine what is possible.”
