Canceled: In-Person May 2020 Convocations & Commencement
Robert C. Robbins, M.D., President, University of Arizona
Dear Students,
I am so sorry to have to announce yet one more difficult but necessary decision regarding the most important event we have on campus all year, Commencement.
The health and safety of our students, families, friends and communities must come first and we have determined that the University of Arizona 2020 Convocations and Commencement cannot take place in-person as originally scheduled in May 2020.
My biggest regret for the Class of 2020 is that you didn’t get to enjoy these final weeks of being a student and your final celebration with your classmates. You are among 8,088 undergraduates, 2,219 master’s students, 1,036 doctoral students, 521 professional degree students and 249 certificate earners, and it is important that the campus community celebrate your achievements.
To that end, our Presidential Events & University Ceremonies team has taken on this challenge as its top priority. We look forward to sharing our plans with you in the coming weeks.
