UIU to host virtual ceremony

 

After much discussion with Upper Iowa University (UIU) leadership and a review of various options, UIU President William R. Duffy II announced today the decision to transition the May 9, 2020, traditional commencement ceremony at UIU's Fayette, Iowa, Campus to a virtual-only event.

"I understand an in-person ceremony is preferred, but I also have no doubt that everyone would agree that the health, safety and welfare of our students, visitors and employees drive this decision," Duffy said. "To provide the graduates their much-deserved recognition, UIU is making arrangements to continue to celebrate this momentous occasion virtually."

The revised schedule of virtual ceremonies is as follows:

9 a.m. - Military Locations

11 a.m. - School of Business and Professional Studies

1 p.m. - School of Arts and Sciences
