Message from President Davenport, March 19, 2020

---

Dear Students, Faculty and Staff,

I regret to inform you that we have determined at this time to cancel our spring commencement ceremonies on May 9, 2020. We understand that many students and their families were looking forward to this day of celebration, and we are sorry that we will be unable to proceed with our normal celebrations. We are taking these precautions because we care about everyone’s safety and well-being.

We are looking at creative alternatives to celebrate our spring graduates. Additional details will be shared as plans are finalized. Regardless of any alternative option this spring, please know that students scheduled to walk in the spring commencement will be welcome to join us for the fall commencement ceremony, if they so desire.

More information as it becomes available on future commencement plans will be available at www.mnsu.edu/graduation or submit your question via email to events@mnsu.edu.

Please continue to be safe and well.

Sincerely,

Richard Davenport
President
