In-person commencement is so important to Kean University they are doing it ten times.
The 3,748 graduates have been broken up into separate colleges or degree programs with graduation ceremonies running thru Saturday.
More than 150 graduates walked into Alumni Stadium Thursday morning on the college campus soaked in sunshine and marched to their socially distanced seats to cheers from friends and family who sat socially distanced on the field and stands.
Like pretty much everyone working in the arts industry, local band Staring Down Comets have had to miss out on a lot of potential events this year due to Covid-19 and the restrictions that come with the pandemic.
The restrictions may have halted their plans somewhat, but they haven t given up on their plan to release some music before the year is out.
This Friday, December 11th, their single Hanging On By A Thread will be released on all streaming platforms and will be available for download, with the pre-sale taking place yesterday (Monday).
It is the band s very first single and was mixed by Leo Logan of Vibes Studios in Drumshanbo.
