Despite having to move indoors due to inclement weather, Missouri Western State University officials are excited to be holding in-person graduation ceremonies this year after having to go virtual last year.
About 550 graduates from the fall of 2020, along with the spring and summer 2021 semesters, are expected to participate in the two ceremonies at Civic Arena Saturday.
Doug Davenport, provost and vice president of student and academic affairs, says the graduates are being split into two ceremonies due to COVID-19 safety precautions. One ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. and another at 3 p.m.
