West Virginia State hosted the first virtual commencement ceremony in the University’s history on Wednesday, May 13, for its May 2020 graduates.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing and safety measures in place at the time, a large in person gathering was not possible. Instead, the University turned to technology to give graduates a virtual experience.
The event was live streamed so friends, family and the entire Yellow Jacket Nation could participate. To view a recording of the live stream, click
