Lincoln College Plans to Host Commencement May 8th
Celebration Will Include In-Person Event

 

[April 02, 2021] 

Lincoln College will host in-person Commencement ceremonies for 2020 and 2021 graduates May 8th.

To accommodate seating and capacity limitations, the College will hold two ceremonies.

The Accelerated Bridge to Education (ABE) ceremony will take place Saturday, May 8, at 9:00 a.m. at the Lincoln Center.

The Lincoln campus traditional students’ ceremony will be held May 8 at 2:00 p.m. in the Lincoln Center.

Each graduating student is permitted two guests at the event. Tickets will be required for all in-person events. Graduates can check their MyLynx and Canvas accounts, as well as student or personal email addresses, for additional information.

Following guidance from local and state health officials, attendees are required to wear face coverings and observe physical distancing. All guests will have a temperature screening prior to admittance into the Lincoln Center gymnasium.

“We are determined to acknowledge our graduates in a more traditional manner in May but are mindful that student safety must be at the forefront of all decision-making. We understand there will be disappointment for those unable to attend our ceremonies, however, recognizing the academic achievements of our newest Lynx alumni remains our top priority,” added Gerlach.

The 154th Commencement Ceremony will be streamed through LCTV for live and recorded viewing.

Due to the unpredictable nature of the pandemic, in-person plans are subject to change.
