Commencement Ceremony Announcement

The College of St. Scholastica holds the health and safety of our campus community as a top priority. We are closely monitoring the situation per the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Based on the most recent  recommendations  regarding limits to gatherings and to protect the health of our graduates, their families, alumni, and employees, we will not hold this year's on-campus Commencement events scheduled for May 10.

Instead, we are exploring alternative solutions to honor our graduates, whether that means a rescheduled date in the future or an alternative virtual experience.

I wanted to get this information to you as soon as possible, so that our graduating Saints and their families, along with our wonderful alumni, can make appropriate plans.

Updates will be posted on the commencement website as available. Please check back regularly.

Sincerely,
President McDonald
