Central Connecticut State University is thrilled to announce the return of in-person commencement ceremonies on Saturday and Sunday, May 22 and May 23, 2021, at Arute Field on campus!
The COVID-19 upended our typical commencement exercises over the last year, but recently revised restrictions on large gatherings have allowed us to press forward with a live event on campus. Our students deserve a special day in recognition of their hard work and accomplishments, and we are very happy to make a more traditional commencement ceremony possible for our wonderful students.
However, students and their loved ones also deserve a SAFE day. Keeping in mind the latest COVID-19 pandemic guidelines, we will host four separate, outdoor ceremonies with limited crowd sizes. The undergraduates and graduates of each school will be recognized on the following days and times:
Carol A. Ammon College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences |
Saturday, May 22; 9 a.m. |
School of Education & Professional Studies |
Saturday, May 22; 2 p.m. |
School of Engineering, Science & Technology |
Sunday, May 23; 9 a.m. |
School of Business |
Sunday, May 23; 2 p.m. |
