Spring and summer graduates at Central Methodist University have the chance to come back to campus in September and finally experience their graduation ceremony at 4 p.m. Sunday, September 13.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, CMU’s classes were online after Spring Break, and the May graduation ceremony was postponed.
CMU’s provost, Dr. Rita Gulstad, said the ceremony will be outdoors at Davis Field. The ceremony will honor graduates and award recipients.
“We’re thrilled that our graduates will be able to walk across the stage,” said Gulstad, who emphasized that this ceremony is also for graduates from CMU’s extended locations whose ceremonies there were also cancelled.
Participants must register at https://www.cmueaglestore.com/store/c105/Graduation_.html
Graduates will be allowed up to four guests. Gulstad said social distancing will be followed, as well as other safety measures.
The rain backup date is September 20.
