The University of New Mexico has announced plans to celebrate the Spring 2021 graduating class with an in-person commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 15 at 9 a.m. in University Stadium.
This event, for Spring 2021 graduates only, will be held under all health restrictions and guidelines—in order to ensure adequate, safely-spaced seating for all graduates—there will be no guests permitted at the ceremony. UNM will be live-streaming commencement on multiple platforms so family and friends can view the ceremonies.
“I am thrilled to announce that we will be holding an in-person commencement ceremony for our Spring 2021 graduates at University Stadium, our largest and safest outdoor venue,” said UNM President Garnett S. Stokes. “While I know this still isn’t the commencement you imagined when you started here, I am still delighted we’re able to celebrate your achievements in person, and with your fellow Lobo graduates.”
