HARTFORD Trinity College is planning to have commencement ceremonies this spring with in-person attendees, according to a message from the college’s president Monday.
There will be two ceremonies scheduled for May 21, according to a message from Trinity College President Joanne Berger-Sweeney. That is aimed to help with “the need to maintain low density and proper physical distancing,” the message read.
And guests are permitted two per graduate, per the message. Any guests planning to attend would need to have a “negative COVID-19 test result or proof of vaccination,” according to the message. The celebrations are also expected to be viewable online.
