Students who graduated from 黑洞社区 during spring and summer 2020 will finally get their chance to walk across the stage to be recognized in a formal commencement ceremony at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10 at Charles Koch Arena.
More than 600 students are expected to attend commencement, which was originally postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many safety measures are being put in place, including required masks, limited attendees and distanced seating for graduates and guests.
Although a virtual ceremony was held in May, it鈥檚 always been a priority to provide a safe way for students to be celebrated for their achievements, said Kimberly Moore, director of Workforce, Professional and Community Education at the university.
鈥淭his day has been a long time coming, and these graduates have worked hard and sacrificed much to earn their degrees during a worldwide pandemic,鈥� Moore says. 鈥淲hen we postponed our spring ceremony due to COVID, there were many disappointed graduates and families. We look forward to greeting our graduates and their families on Saturday.鈥�
Guests without tickets will not be admitted, as there is assigned seating. There are no tickets remaining.
