Spring 2020 Commencement

We want to celebrate you.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Missouri State University will not get to have spring commencement ceremonies in May.

But that doesn't mean commencement is canceled.

Join us in a digital celebration for the Class of 2020 with frames, GIFs, stickers and video. We can't wait to be together for our official in-person formal ceremony. 

A virtual celebration

A digital #BearGrads experience

We don't need to be in the stadium to show our school spirit. Share a photo on social media in your best maroon and white. Congatulate our graduates using #BearGrads.
So proud of my Bear Grad in maroon and white

Celebrate again later this year

Spring 2020 graduates will have two chances to participate in commencement later this year at Great Southern Bank Arena.

The first will be Oct. 18, the Sunday after #BearsHomecoming. The second will be Dec. 11 at our scheduled fall ceremonies.

We'll have more details about ceremony times and procedures in the weeks ahead.
