WSU Health Sciences Spokane Commencement Postponement & Virtual Celebration
Given the current prohibition against large gatherings in the state of Washington in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, traditional commencement ceremonies cannot be held on any of the WSU campuses as scheduled for early May 2020. Washington State University leadership made this decision with careful consideration and recognize this situation is not what our graduates envisioned for their respective commencement.
WSU Spokane Vice President and Chancellor, Daryll DeWald, is committed to a meaningful commencement exercise and to recognizing the significant accomplishments of our graduates both on-line and in-person.
WSU will host an online system-wide commencement celebration on May 9, 2020. WSU Health Sciences Spokane is currently working on details in conjunction with WSU, in which all graduates will be recognized and participate in this virtual celebration. As details continue to be worked out, please know that we plan to recognize each individual student. All graduates will receive communication and information on this virtual commencement plan from Student Affairs once details are finalized.
WSU Pullman is also planning an in-person commencement ceremony in August 2020. WSU Health Sciences Spokane is yet to determine if a Spokane in-person ceremony would take place in August. Spokane graduates would also have the opportunity to attend the in-person ceremony in Pullman.
We continue to appreciate the understanding and unwavering commitment to WSU as we remain focused on keeping Coug Nation safe during this ever-changing environment.
