The move allows MSM to provide an in-person Commencement ceremony for the Class of 2021 while enabling friends, family, alumni, and other interested parties to participate live and still adhere to COVID-19 safety guidelines on social distancing. All participants and guests will be required to wear facemasks. Last year the pandemic forced MSM to hold an exciting virtual ceremony. This year’s ceremony also will be livestreamed on YouTube,” according to MSM officials.
