Commencement and Graduation Ceremonies

The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed so many of the things that are special about Commencement—the hugs, the high-fives, the gathering of friends and family—into potential dangers for our community. Given this fact, as well as the uncertainty as to when the state’s ban on large gatherings will be lifted, the college has made the extremely difficult decision to move to a virtual ceremony for the Class of 2020.

No matter what the format, this year’s Commencement ceremony will still be special—because the Class of 2020 is amazing! We are so proud of our graduates' resilience and determination and we can't wait to honor their achievements. Rest assured that our pride will be in no way dampened by the fact that it is expressed online.

The Virtual Commencement ceremony will be available to view starting Thursday, June 18 at 6:30 p.m. 

NOTE: If this date and time does not work for you may watch the ceremony through June.
