Spring Commencement will be virtual to comply with public health guidelines

George Mason University will conduct its 54th Spring Commencement virtually in accordance with public health recommendations.

The ceremony is set for 2 p.m. May 14. Details upcoming here.

Mason also held virtual graduation events last May and in December, following COVID-19 medical guidelines to not gather in large groups.

Graduation ceremonies attract thousands of graduates and their friends and family members to EagleBank Arena. The university is hoping to resume in-person graduation in December as conditions allow.

Mason will announce its spring Commencement guest speaker at a later date.
