And then there were none.

On Sunday, Final Exercises for the University of Virginia’s Darden School of Business, School of Law and McIntire School of Commerce took place at Scott Stadium.

The last of seven Final Exercise ceremonies, spread over two weekends, put an exclamation point on what has been an exciting May on Grounds. The day was just as celebratory as the previous two days of festivities, with an added special touch as President Jim Ryan asked outgoing Dean of Students Allen Groves to lead the procession down the Lawn, a tribute to Groves’ 14 years serving UVA students.

Here are some of the photos from the memory-filled day.
