Strike a Pose typography

polaroid of student posing with cutout of the dean

With COVID-19 on the rise, Wayne Law’s 2020 commencement ceremony was held virtually. Since the graduates missed the chance for pictures in their caps and gowns at the Detroit Opera House, the Law School sent the photographer to them for a physically distanced photo op! And while the dean couldn’t be there in person, he was transformed — regalia and all — into a cardboard cutout for the occasion. Each graduate was presented with a custom-labeled bottle of Champagne or sparkling cider to enjoy with their family.
