Check Back for Updates

We imagine you have many questions about commencement. We will continue to update this section of the website as more information becomes available. Check our FAQ section for an ongoing list of common questions.

*Please note that plans are based on current federal and state safety guidelines and protocols. With the vaccination process underway across the country, it is our hope that we will be able to host commencement as outlined above. However, should the number of cases shift, we will have to reconsider our plans to ensure our community's health and wellness.
