SARASOTA, Fla. (WWSB) - The University of South Florida will hold in-person commencement ceremonies this weekend for the first time since December 2019, as COVID-19 forced ceremonies to be held virtually in the spring, summer and fall of 2020.
USF President Steven Currall will preside over spring commencement ceremonies scheduled for 9 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., on Saturday, May 8, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, a news release said.
Among those to overcome unique challenges posed by COVID-19 in order to graduate this spring are the first cohort of 30 students from USFâs accelerated nursing program on the Sarasota-Manatee campus.
