GREEN BAY (NBC 26) -- The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay's graduation ceremony originally scheduled for spring will now take place in August, the university announced Friday.

UW-Green Bay announced Friday that it will hold its Spring 2020 Commencement Ceremony on Saturday, August 22, 2020. The in-person event will begin at 11:30 a.m. at the Kress Events Center.

The University’s 101st Commencement ceremony, originally slated for May 16, was postponed last month due to the outbreak of coronavirus.

Graduates, faculty and staff will be contacted in the next few weeks with additional details and information on ceremony sign-up, tickets, caps and gowns and more.

“This day belongs to every member of the Class of 2020. We encourage those not able to be physically present to join their class via livestream,” said Interim Chancellor Sheryl Van Gruensven.
