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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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<\/a> <\/strong>by 8 a.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
