UTEP graduates will get to hear their names called as they cross the stage and have their photo taken before receiving their degrees at two in-person commencement ceremonies in May.
UTEP will allow graduating students to bring up to eight guests to the in-person commencement ceremonies scheduled May 14-15 at Sun Bowl Stadium.
The commencement ceremonies also will be open to 2020 graduates as well.
“We are in a much different place than last year at this time, in terms of the number of cases of COVID-19 and the number of people who have been vaccinated,” University of Texas at El Paso President Heather Wilson said in a news release.
