KCU is one of the first osteopathic medical schools in the United States, having opened its doors in 1916. It has two colleges: one for osteopathic medicine and another for biosciences. By enrollment, KCU is one of the nation&#8217;s largest medical schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Kansas-State-University-Students-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"KCU Class of 2022 Commencement\n\" class=\"wp-image-21308\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Kansas-State-University-Students-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Kansas-State-University-Students-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Kansas-State-University-Students-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Kansas-State-University-Students-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/taggbox.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Kansas-State-University-Students.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Class of 2022&#8221; commencement event was held in Kansas City on Saturday, May 7, 2022, at Municipal Auditorium. Later, the ceremony was held in Joplin at the MSSU Leggett and Platt Athletic Center on Sunday, May 8, 2022. In addition, Kansas City University collaborated with Taggbox to showcase the heartfelt moments over the past days through a social wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"kansas-city-universitys-primary-objective\">Kansas City University&#8217;s Primary Objective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>KCU wanted their commencement event in 2022 to be a new experience for the people involved. Kansas City University wanted to ensure that the graduates&#8217; families do not miss out on the ecstatic moment for their children, so they decided to go for a <a href=\"https:\/\/socialwalls.com\/virtual-events\/\" target=\"_blank\">hybrid event<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make this hybrid event a success, they decided to capture the joyous moment of over 150 medical students graduating from KCU through a social wall. So, in this bid, they contacted Taggbox to create a social wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"bg-gray vh-center flex-column rounded-3 p-4\">\n    <h3 class=\"fs-26px text-center fw-semibold mt-0 mb-3\" id=\"make-your-commencement-event-memorable\">Make Your Commencement Event Memorable<\/h3>\n    <div class=\"d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center flex-wrap gap-4 mb-3\">\n        <a class=\"btn btn-lg btn-primary rounded-pill btn-with-arrow\" href=\"https:\/\/app.socialwalls.com\/accounts\/register\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n            Start For Free Now\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-taggbox-made-the-commencement-event-a-success\">How Taggbox Made The Commencement Event A Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The &#8220;Class of 2022&#8221; commencement event of KCU was the first time the commencement event was going hybrid, meaning families at home could also relish the spectacle.
