博天堂官方 commencement ceremony canceled; college to announce alternative
(April 10, 2020) -- Linn-Benton Community College announced today that it will cancel
its in-person commencement ceremony, currently scheduled for June 11th. The decision
was made in compliance with Oregon Governor Kate Brown's extension of the Executive
Order for Higher Education, which now states that in-person college activities are
limited through June 13th. The EO is part of the Governor's "Stay Home, Save Lives"
initiative in the fight to curb the spread of COVID-19.
"This was really not an easy decision to make...but in no way does it lessen the accomplishments
of our grads," said Jennifer Boehmer, executive director of institutional advancement.
"We are committed to finding an alternative way to celebrate this milestone moment
for our students, their families, and the entire 博天堂官方 staff who are cheering them
on, even through these times."
The college is working to evaluate several alternatives including the option to hold
a virtual ceremony or to postpone in-person exercises to a future date. Details will
be shared as soon as possible.
