Event Changes

Your health and wellbeing, and that of the community, are of the utmost importance to the University of Minnesota.

The University is following the recommendation of the State of Minnesota, effective immediately and until further notice. All major venues at the University, systemwide, are closed to the public, and events will be canceled, rescheduled, or moved online where possible. We are working closely with public health officials and will regularly assess the ongoing need for these restrictions.

Thank you for your partnership and patience as we work together to keep our community healthy.

Commencement

In conjunction with the Class of 2020’s systemwide virtual commencement, CEHD will also hold a virtual commencement ceremony on May 16. The U of M ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. and the CEHD ceremony will begin shortly after. Graduating students will receive reminder messages about the ceremony from the University and the college up until May 16.

Please visit the CEHD commencement page for details and updates.
