Wilson College class of 2020, staff, faculty, alums, friends and family of graduates, please save the date of Sunday, May 17. At 2 p.m. ET we will gather virtually here on the Wilson College Facebook page for a watch party to recognize the conferring of degrees of this years grads.

To immediately acknowledge this important moment in the lives of our graduates, we will conduct a virtual conferral of degrees. This brief event will debut via a Facebook Watch Party on the College’s Facebook page at 2 p.m. EST on May 17.

This virtual conferral of degrees is not a Commencement, and it will not attempt to be. We hope it will be a fun and meaningful way to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates. We hope our entire Wilson family will join, albeit remotely, to help celebrate the Class of 2020.

We still think it is important to invite each member of the class of 2020 to don their regalia and walk across the stage for their individual recognition. As previously announced, our Commencement will take place October 25.
