USC just announced the best news for the classes of 2020 and 2021!
They are set to hold in-person commencement celebrations in May for both classes. They have been granted permission from state authorities to host in-person commencement celebrations in May for both graduating classes. All of the ceremonies will take place at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. To help accommodate state restrictions, ceremonies will be held twice a day from May 14th-25th.
According to USC President Carol L. Folt statated “Commencement is one of the most cherished ceremonies in a student’s academic life.“It’s the single time when we come together as a community to celebrate years of hard work by our graduates.”
For this year's ceremonies, they will combine USC's traditional main graduation ceremony with those of individual schools and colleges. Each graduate will be invited to one ceremony with their specific school or degree program. They will then have the opportunity to cross the stage, hear their names read, receive their diploma and have their photos taken.
There will also be an online broadcast for those who cannot attend the ceremony. Everything that is done in-person will also be broadcast online, live and on-demand for future viewing. Every school will host a virtual celebration for its graduates on May 13th.
