Colorado State University Pueblo has announced that it will host an in-person commencement ceremony this May. We are hopeful as we plan for an in-person commencement ceremony, especially because we worked so hard to bring this tradition back to our campus in 2019,” said Timothy Mottet, president of CSU Pueblo, in a news release. “Our Commencement team is keeping safety as a priority in the planning, by including our local public health experts in the conversation. We also remain flexible with a virtual component to be inclusive and safe for all those celebrating our CSU Pueblo graduates.”
CSU Pueblo s commencement ceremony will be hosted at the Neta and Eddie DeRose ThunderBowl or at Massari Arena if the weather is bad.
