Johns Hopkins University's 2016 commencement ceremony was held on
Wednesday, May 18 at Royal Farms Arena in downtown Baltimore. It was a
celebration of more than 7,500 graduates—including about 1,500
undergraduate students, eight distinguished achievers.
Award-winning Nigerian novelist, Chimamanda Adichie, groundbreaking filmmaker, Spike Lee, a Nobel Prize
winner, and Maryland's first woman to become an administrative Circuit

Hopkins University honorary degrees.
Dr.
Adichie wore the traditional gold and black gown at the ceremony. The
commencement speaker was renowned U.S. filmmaker Spike Lee who delivered

love versus walls of hate".
