Lipscomb has announced a change of plans in commencement ceremonies. What was previously planned to be an in-person graduation ceremony will now take place virtually.
The commencement ceremony will be broadcast live at 2 p.m. December 19 and will be live-streamed at lipscomb.edu/live and will be available for later viewing on Lipscomb’s YouTube channel, according to information from the provost’s office.
The virtual baccalaureate service will take place at 5 p.m. December 18 and be streamed at lipscomb.edu/live .
“After extensive consultation with local and state health officials, external medical personnel and knowing our own experience in managing the virus this fall, we have made the decision to celebrate December commencement virtually, similar to May’s ceremonies,” said Provost Craig Bledsoe, in an email to faculty.
“While we are disappointed that circumstances surrounding the continued global pandemic have interfered with our plans for an in-person ceremony, it is very important to us to have a meaningful graduation season filled with celebration,” wrote President Randy Lowry, in an email to students.
