[Wsssc] In-person commencement

[Blakeney, Erin]

Cascadia is hosting an in person commencement ceremony on the UW Bothell outdoor sports field on our campus and then UWB will do their nursing pinning ceremony the next day on the field.
I haven’t heard of any pushback – and it seems like we are seeing about the same percentage of grads planning to attend the ceremony as the “before-covid” times.

Our ceremony is this Friday at 4p…just hoping for good weather (although we’ll be under a huge tent).
Super excited to have our first graduation since 2019!

Hello everyone,

Our college made the decision in January to have a drive-thru commencement this spring (like we did last spring). It was a huge success and students liked being in their cars with their families and friends. Because we needed to decide early (we had a deadline to cancel our in-person venue) we opted for another drive-thru commencement this spring. We hope to go back to an in person commencement next spring (fingers crossed).

Best,
Christina

Good morning, WSSSC,

We are resuming our in-person ceremony at ShoWare in Kent, and it will be live streamed. Are you planning to have an in-person commencement this year? If you are having an in-person ceremony, are you getting pushback from faculty and/or staff? We’ve had minimal pushback and are navigating it as it comes, though we’re also paying close attention to increasing COVID cases. I’m curious as to what you all are doing.

Thanks,
Jess
