How to watch: WCU Virtual Commencement, 5-16-20
William Carey University will host virtual commencement ceremonies for spring 2020 graduates on Saturday, May 16.
“We admire your persistence in completing your degree requirements. Many of you went through the 2017 tornado and are now enduring the 2020 COVID crisis, yet you have not let these hindrances keep you from achieving your goals,” WCU President Dr. Tommy King said.
“We are so proud of you. I regret that you will not be able to receive your diploma in a traditional ceremony, but it is important to honor your hard work and achievement.”
