COLUMBIA â The University of Missouri held four in-person graduation ceremonies for its 2020 graduates on Saturday.
The university required masks and social distancing. Graduates had to sign up in advance to reserve their spot and each graduate could bring up to 6 guests.
One 2020 graduate said her parents were happy to see her walk across the stage. My family was probably more excited than I was just to see me walk across the stage, Cameron Bryant, a 2020 graduate of the Missouri School of Journalism, said.Â
Jim Spain, vice provost for undergraduate studies, said during the 11:15 a.m. ceremony, the university knew it was important to bring graduates back to campus for an in-person ceremony.
