The Class of 2024 has not had a typical first-year experience, to say the least — nor did they have a traditional year as high school seniors. Orientation usually includes a few large gatherings, including a class photo shoot, but that was not possible in 2020.

We still wanted to celebrate their arrival in Friartown, however. Take a closer look at this photo mosaic, composed of images of each individual student.

A class of distinction The Class of 2021 is the most diverse in College history — 18.3 percent of its 1,050 members are students of color — and the most gender balanced — 53 percent female and 47 percent male —in at least 10 years. Some 11,233 students applied for admission, a record number for the third straight year. The class is academically strong, with 60 percent ranking in the top 20 percent of their high school graduating class; athletic, with 88 percent playing varsity sports in high school; and community-minded, with 72 percent reporting participation in community service. — The Class of 2021
