PVAMU to Hold Virtual Graduation Celebration

“A Celebration of Our Graduates” will recognize more than 900 spring graduates.

Campus of Prairie View A&M University

Mark your calendars for May 9, 2020! On that Saturday, at 10 a.m., Prairie View A&M University will hold a virtual celebration for the Class of Spring 2020. In light of the coronavirus crisis, the university commencement committee has created a safer alternative to honor the academic achievements of 910 graduates.

James A. Wilson, Jr., Ph.D., university commencement chairman, said because of the pandemic pivot that PVAMU and the world have made, the committee chose "PVAMU Stronger Together" as the graduation’s celebration theme.

“The Commencement Steering Committee selected this because we know that the Panther Nation will emerge from these challenging times even more resilient and determined to continue the legacies of our great university.”

If the current restrictions banning large gatherings are lifted, the Spring 2020 Graduates would be able to participate in the summer graduation, which is tentatively scheduled for August 2020.
