Mohawk Valley Community College will hold a virtual graduation celebration in place of its traditional in-person commencement ceremony, which could not be held as scheduled due to current government restrictions on large gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The celebration, which will include all students eligible to graduate as of Dec. 1, 2020, will be posted on www.mvcc.edu/celebrate and shared on the College’s social media at 4 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 17.

The presentation link will be available until December 2021, and all formal remarks will include captioning.

Individual achievements also will be recognized, as each student will be announced by name before receiving their recognition in an individual clip.

The footage from all students has been edited together to create a ceremony procession. The celebration also will include an address from MVCC President Randall J. VanWagoner, Ph.D., and MVCC Board President Tony Colón, as well as remarks and well wishes from some special guests.
