LORETTO -- Saint Francis University will hold its 170th commencement exercises in person May 8-9.
They will be divided into four small ceremonies by university school, all to be held in the Maurice Stokes Athletics Center's DeGol Arena over the two days.
Strict attendance restrictions will be in place to ensure social distancing, and all ceremonies will be live-streamed and recorded for those who can't attend in person.
The ceremonies will recognize graduates of the classes from 2020 and 2021.
A total of 632 students earned diplomas in 2020 and 682 students will graduate in 2021.
Saint Francis has supported in-person instruction since the beginning of the 2020-21 academic year.
To maintain social distancing, there will be a four-person limit to the number of family members and guests who may attend. Tickets will be required to enter. All attendees will be expected to wear face coverings.
Graduates will receive matching celebratory masks to wear during the ceremony.
