The set up caught the attention of a neighbor who shared the event on Instagram saying, “My next door neighbors daughter couldn’t have her official graduation due to the pandemic so her created one for her! Now that’s a great/proud father for you. He made it happen!”

The program details all of the elements one would expect to see at a normal graduation — a procession, invocation, national anthem, welcome, song, commencement address and most important, the conferring of degree followed by the recessional.

After doing the hard work to earn her Bachelors of Public Health Science with a Minor in Biology, Gabrielle’s family was determined to create the space to cheer her on for all to see.
