There was an empty seat draped with a cap and gown marked where Samantha Josephson should have been sitting.
Josephson was killed in March after getting into a car she thought was her Uber.
The university's president Harris Pastides led students in a chant of "What's my name."
"Asking 'what's my name' before entering a rideshare vehicle will save lives and must become as automatic to you as putting your seatbelt when you get behind the wheel," Pastides said.

He also presented Josephson's parents with a posthumous degree in political science in her memory.
