Roger Williams University Commencement Ceremonies
Graduates:
We understand this was not how you expected to spend your final semester due to the current situation of COVID-19. Please know we empathize with you as we face the unknown as each day brings new changes and challenges.
We recognize Commencement is a special, celebratory time for you and your family and hope the situation dissipates so we are able to return to normal sooner rather than later. The Commencement Office, in collaboration with the RWU Emergency Response Team, is monitoring the current COVID-19 outbreak. At this time, no changes have been made to the schedule of Commencement ceremonies and events. If there are any changes, they will be posted here and communications will go out to students, faculty, and staff.
We encourage you to follow www.rwu.edu/covid-19, which includes information on RWU’s planning efforts and links to public health resources including the website of the Centers for Disease Control.
