Commencement in Spring 2021
All 2020 graduates will be invited to participate in the commencement ceremonies that will occur in the spring of 2021. Additional information will be shared at the end of the calendar year. We will add a ceremony next May 2021 for the classes of December 2019 and May 2020 should there be sufficient registered interest and should we be able to offer such a ceremony at that time. Otherwise, we will specifically honor the December 2019 and May 2020 graduates within the two ceremonies we currently plan to offer.
