Virginia State University’s Graduation “Boots on the Ground” Celebration

Graduation is a happy time for the graduate and of course all family members. At Virginia State University’s graduation they had their “Boots on the Ground” and a special graduation celebration. A feel good moment.

President Abdullah encouraged the new HBCU graduates to dance along or simply enjoy the moment. As the beat dropped, students erupted into movement, clapping the fans in rhythm and performing the viral “Boots on the Ground” dance. The celebratory interlude lasted about 1 minute and 20 seconds, capturing the joy, pride, and cultural richness of the VSU Class of 2025.
