An Important Message Concerning Saturday's Commencement Convocation
Apr 21, 2021
Dear Graduates and Parents:
The National Weather Service calls for continuous rain and wind on Saturday, April 24, in Orangeburg. As a result, we have changed our Commencement plans from an outdoor ceremony at the Orangeburg Fairgrounds to an indoor ceremony on campus at the Jonas T. Kennedy Health and Wellness Complex.
To accommodate this change, the Commencement for the Class of 2020 will be held at 8:00 a.m., and will be followed by the Commencement for the Class of 2021 at 11:00 a.m.
Safety is always our first priority. While we are still in the midst of the pandemic, we plan to still provide seating in a socially distance manner. Families will be seated together and at least 3 feet apart. Face coverings are required to enter the building and required to be worn through the entire ceremony. We appreciate your cooperation to ensure this is a safe and smooth program.
We hope you appreciate our commitment to hold an in-person Commencement in light of the inclement weather that has been predicted. More information will be provided about commencement and we apologize for any inconvenience this necessary change will cause.
-The Commencement Committee
