CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State University will hold an in-person celebratory event June 11 for 2020 and 2021 Corvallis campus graduates, the day before the university holds its formal virtual 2021 commencement ceremony.
“Many of our graduates have asked for the chance to celebrate commencement in person with their peers,” said Becky Johnson, OSU’s interim president. “This opportunity to celebrate in person is now possible because Benton County has moved to low COVID-19 risk.”
The Corvallis event will take place from 12:30 to 3 p.m. and include an informal processional, departing from the Memorial Union and Valley Library quads and ending at Reser Stadium, where graduates will be seated and hear brief remarks from OSU leaders. Face masks will be required.
