Virtual Commencement Honoring the Class of 2020

Commencement for the Class of 2020 will occur virtually on Saturday, December 12 at 4:00 p.m.

Each unit will have a virtual ceremony with traditional University-wide elements. Additional details surrounding the virtual ceremonies will be shared with you in the coming weeks.

We want to be clear, when we can safely return to traditional in-person commencement, the Class of 2020 will be able to attend one of those commencement ceremonies if desired.  The health and safety of our graduates, your families, and our community are of utmost concern.
