A safe and socially distanced commencement will take place Friday, Oct. 16 at Alumni Stadium at 10 a.m.
鈥淭he Spring 2020 commencement will not be combined with the December 2020 class,鈥� President Brown said in a message to the campus community in April. 鈥溚爻怨� University must give our Spring 2020 class the graduation they earned with even more surprises than originally planned.鈥�

The date and guests were decided after surveying the graduating class.
鈥淚t seems only fair that an extra-special celebration will be required to honor the Spring 2020 graduating class,鈥� President Brown said in the April message.
