Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the health and safety of our students, guests and campus communities remains of paramount importance. Each ceremony will follow requirements for masking and state and federal guidelines for gatherings.
All students, guests and employees are required to wear face masks to help minimize the risk of spreading COVID-19.
We are prepared to adjust plans, including shifting to a fully virtual ceremony, if needed, based on changing virus conditions or changes in public health guidelines.
