Graduation will look a little different at Dakota State University this spring. Instead of one morning commencement, there will be two ceremonies on Saturday.
Commencement for graduates of The Beacom College of Computer and Cyber Sciences will be held at the DSU Fieldhouse at 9 a.m.; the ceremony to honor graduates of the Arts & Sciences, Business and Information Systems, and Education Colleges will take place at 2:30 p.m. in the Fieldhouse.
Also, a hooding ceremony for master s and Ph.D. graduates will be held at 12:30 p.m. in the Dakota Prairie Playhouse.
Multiple ceremonies have been considered for some years due to an increasing number of graduates. With social distancing requirements because of the pandemic, the decision was made to hold multiple ceremonies this spring.
