Pittsburg State University’s spring graduates will be honored next week at a Spring Commencement that will be very similar in style to Fall Commencement, which was well-received by participants. In the past, Spring Commencement has been held in four ceremonies — one for each of the university’s four colleges.
This year, PSU will hold eight in two days to comply with COVID-19 mitigation strategies. All ceremonies will start in the Robert W. Plaster Center and then proceed to the Garfield Weede Building. Graduates and their guests will remain together as a group throughout, except when the graduate crosses the stage. PSU also will hold a pinning and graduation event in the afternoon on Friday, May 7, for graduates in the Irene Ransom Bradley School of Nursing.
