COLUMBUS, Miss. (WTVA) - Mississippi University for Women (MUW) will hold its fall graduation ceremony virtually this year.

The ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 24 at 2 p.m.

The university will broadcast the graduation ceremony on its website muw.edu.

“Our desire to recognize our graduating students with an in-person commencement ceremony remains strong, but the current public health situation will not allow it,” said Dr. Scott Tollison, provost and vice president for academic affairs. “We remain committed to holding in-person commencement exercises for our spring, summer and fall graduates that have missed out on this memorable experience due to COVID-19.”

According to the university, 2020 graduates (spring, summer and fall) will be recognized in-person at a point in the future when it’s safe to host larger gatherings.
