As soon as an announcement is made regarding the university ceremony, the college will make a decision regarding the CNR ceremony. The university is committed first and foremost to ensuring the health and safety of our students, faculty, staff, and Wolfpack families and friends, and we continue to work with local and state authorities and health officials in determining the best possible course of action regarding commencement events. We know how much of an accomplishment graduation is, and we understand and appreciate how eager our Wolfpack families and friends are to celebrate our graduates’ achievements. We appreciate your patience and understanding during these times.
