Quinnipiac University has decided to postpone their graduation until further notice. <\/p>\n
Quinnipiac\u2019s decision to postpone the Spring 2020 Commencement Ceremony was made aware to students Tuesday morning. The choice to move it back came down to the COVID-19 virus pandemic, the Center for Disease Control\u2019s guidelines and Connecticut Governor Ned Lemont\u2019s recommendation to limit public gatherings. <\/p>\n
Students will be contacted within the next few weeks regarding how they will be reviewing their diplomas. Quinnipiac will be acknowledging the successful completion of undergraduate academics for students. Many will need their transcripts and diplomas when entering the workforce or graduate school in the coming months. <\/p>\n
It is stated that the COVID-19 virus provides too many uncertainties to announce a new date for commencement. Although a date has not been tentatively set for students, Quinnipiac University President Judy Olian wanted to assure students that there will be a ceremony. <\/p>\n
\u201cI want to provide you with clarity about our commitment to still hold an in-person event,\u201d Olian said in her email to students.<\/p>\n
Olian also went on to assure students that they will be notified with fair amounts of time to prepare. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will give you adequate notice so that you will be able to plan your travel and schedule.\u201d <\/p>\n
Quinnipiac senior Zack Brooks shared his thoughts on the postponement, \u201cI am very sad, but not shocked by the outcome. I am happy that the school is assuring us it will be held in person at a later date.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brooks and others will be looking forward to an email regarding their updated commencement schedule in the future. President Olian hinted that a possible commencement may take place in the Summer or Fall. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
