The University of Evansville has pushed its spring commencement ceremony to September, due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
UE says its commencement has been rescheduled for Homecoming weekend, September 19th, at the Ford Center.
In a release, the university said the decision was made “after much discussion and input from students, faculty, and staff.”
The announcement followed word last week that UE would complete the current semester online.
University president Christopher Pietruszkiewicz said the semester ”has taken an unanticipated turn for all of us” and UE recognizes the importance of celebrating the educational achievements of the Class of 2020.
The move does not affect the timing or awarding of UE degrees.
