The College announced Monday, May 2, that its upcoming graduation ceremonies will be mask optional, but highly recommended.

President MacLaren issued the following suggestions: 

• Attendees can help protect others by masking up. 
• If an at-home COVID-19 test is available, take one before Commencement. Anyone who tests positive must not attend the ceremony. 
• If you have any symptoms on the day of Commencement, do not attend. 
• If you travel to campus from a county with Medium or High Community Levels, mask up. 
• KN95 or N95 masks are the more effective options for those who choose to wear masks. 

Graduation ceremonies will take place Saturday, May 14.
