Graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2021 took place on Saturday, May 15th, marking the College’s 165th commencement and the conferring of 245 degrees. This graduation ceremony, one of three held to accommodate smaller groups and social distancing, was the first commencement led by President Douglas B.

In 1982, Mr. James Cosgrove joined the Culver-Stockton College faculty and quickly became one of the most highly regarded and award-winning business faculty members in the school's history.
