The university made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s commencement ceremony in consultation with state and local health department guidance and restrictions on large gatherings related to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
All 2020 ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï graduates are invited to take part in the university’s May 2021 commencement ceremonies. Details and ongoing updates will be provided on the ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï commencement website, .
ºÚÁÏÍø±¬³Ô¹Ï president Dr. Karl Einolf commented, “When we originally rescheduled our May 2020 commencement to take place this October 3, our hope was that the conditions of the coronavirus pandemic would have improved enough to allow our community to gather safely as a group for this special occasion. Unfortunately, we are not yet able to do so. We are extremely proud of our 2020 graduates and their achievements, and look forward to having them with us next spring so that we many honor them during our 2021 commencement ceremonies.â€
