Posted
Staff Report-
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Ivy Tech Community College Fort Wayne/Warsaw has canceled its 50th annual commencement ceremony, which was originally scheduled for today at the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum.
The college will instead recognize its more than 2,400 graduates with on-campus celebrations when it is prudent, according to a news release. The Warsaw and Fort Wayne graduates represent more than 3,400 associate degrees, certificates and technical certificates.
To mark what would have been their original graduate date, graduates are encouraged to pick up yard signs commemorating their achievements at drive-through pick-up on campus. Ivy Tech Warsaw and Fort Wayne also will be recognizing graduates in person with smaller celebrations hosted by academic schools when CDC and Ivy Tech guidelines allow a return to campus.
2020 graduates are also invited to attend the commencement ceremonies in spring 2021 if they desire to participate in the formal commencement.
Students and guests will use #IvyTechGrad to share photos commemorating their graduation. Use the hashtag to view graduation photos and messages of encouragement on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
