[Wsssc] In-person commencement

[Orchard, Sue]

Hi Jess-

We're doing a live event but spreading grads and their guests out during the ceremony. We typically hold it at a local high school at their football stadium and don't have to limit guests but because we had to make a decision in the winter, we decided to host on our campus, hold the event in our large auditorium and livestream the event to classrooms around campus for grads and their guests to watch together. Then, we'll release grads by their classrooms and have them walk across the stage for their diploma. It's a bit complicated but allows us to be in person in a more safe manner. The main concern we're receiving is about limiting number of in-person guests. It will be interesting!

Best,
Sue

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
