Bowdoin College preps for in-person graduation ceremony
Share
As many as 467 students at Bowdoin College are set to graduate on Saturday. Unlike last year and despite the COVID-19 pandemic, college officials have decided to hold an in-person commencement ceremony.
Though the Center for Disease Control has eased COVID-19 mask rules, all students, faculty, staff and guests are required to wear face masks throughout the ceremony. However, the college officials are not requiring social-distancing.
“Our graduating seniors have been a part of the college’s rigorous COVID-19 testing protocol. All the students will be seated in a traditional manner, provided they have received negative test results,” said college spokesman Doug Cook.
