SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) – On-campus spring commencement ceremonies at UW-Green Bay campuses, including Sheboygan, have been cancelled. But the university is working to “reimagine” a celebration honoring the grads, and many ideas are being explored.
Interim Chancellor Sheryl Van Gruensven noted that so long as all academic requirements are met, degrees can be conferred regardless of whether or not a ceremony occurs. Nonetheless, she said, “Make no mistake: UW-Green Bay will find a way to celebrate our students and their accomplishments following the end of this semester. There may not be an in-person ceremony, but there will be a celebration.”
