Cheers, celebration and the exclamation of “I’m a doctor, y’all!” was part of the Shaw Commencement which took place in Downtown Raleigh on May 9th, 2026. One Hundred Fifty-Two grads, including those from the School of Divinity, before turning their tassels, listened to feature speaker Edwina Findley Dickerson; actress, author, and motivational speaker who inspired the audience. Mrs. Dickerson was given the Doctorate of Humane Letters, and to her many achievements, she can add the title of Doctor to her list!

Congratulations to the Shaw University Graduating Class of 2026!
