Coming in May: In-Person, Socially Distanced Commencement
NSM Ceremony Scheduled for TDECU Stadium
The pandemic put a hold on many University of Houston activities and traditions. Teaching, learning and even student organization events quickly adopted an online virtual format.
One of the toughest decisions for the University was the postponement of in-person commencement ceremonies. The ritual of walking across the stage to signify the completion of a degree is important to our graduates and their families.
In a March 11 message to students, faculty and staff, UH Provost Paula Short announced that “after thoughtful deliberation and input from health experts, we have decided that the University of Houston will hold a series of in-person commencement ceremonies to honor our May 2021 graduates.”
