Recent government decisions regarding travel and its impact on large gatherings have forced us to change the midyear commencement celebration from a hybrid format to a virtual-only event.
We understand and share in the disappointment that this causes for those planning to participate in the ceremony. However, keeping our students, families, faculty, and staff safe, especially during this time, is paramount.
We invite graduating students, along with friends, families, faculty and staff to watch the ceremony and hear a message from the president, graduates’ names read and degrees conferred virtually. The link to view this prerecorded event will be posted on this webpage by 8 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5.

This specially designed course delves deep into the world of the founders using role-playing games that explore conflict and peace in Pennsylvania’s frontier during the Seven Years’ War, patriotism and loyalty in New York City on the eve of the Revolution, and the writing of a new Constitution in Philadelphia.
Students play historical characters such as Delaware chief Teedyuscung, tavern keeper Lady de la Montagne, African-American laborer Joseph Bartlet, Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, and . . . Alexander Hamilton. This is it – don’t throw away your shot!
