Spring 2021 Drive-Through Commencement Ceremony
“We love to celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates,” said Dr. Janet F. Smith, Columbia State president. “I, along with the faculty and staff, could not be more proud of this group and all they have achieved.” In lieu of a traditional ceremony, students walked across the stage at the Circular Commons while their families observed from their vehicles near the fountain. “Our ceremony might look different due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the celebration and excitement for these graduates remains the same,” Smith said. 54
