San Diego State University said Thursday that it will hold its May graduation ceremonies at Petco Park in downtown San Diego, setting aside the possibility of holding a drive-through “CARmencement” due to the pandemic.
“After close consultation with county health officials and in adherence with county and state guidelines, SDSU is moving forward with hosting” commencement at Petco, the campus said in an email to students.
The university said in early March that it would hold an in-person commencement for this year’s graduates and for students whose ceremonies were canceled last spring when the virus was spreading rapidly. But it did not specify a site until Thursday.
