CFANS Virtual Commencement 2021

Friday, May 14, 3 p.m. CDT

Congratulations to the CFANS Class of 2021! Every year, our CFANS community eagerly anticipates Commencement and the opportunity to congratulate and celebrate our graduates in a ceremony befitting such a momentous occasion. No matter the circumstances, we are committed to making this beloved tradition personal and meaningful for all graduating students and their families. We share your disappointment at not being able to gather together in person, but hope you will understand that the health and safety of all must remain the top priority until we can safely gather again in larger groups. We are working hard now to create a virtual Commencement that will be as meaningful and significant to you as you are to CFANS. 

Thank you for your understanding, and know that all of us at CFANS are very much looking forward to celebrating the Class of 2021 and their achievements in May.

All graduates, friends, family, and the CFANS community are all welcome to tune into the virtual ceremonies on Friday, May 14 at 3 p.m. (Central Time).

The ceremony links below will go live at 3 p.m. (CDT) on Friday, May 14, 2021.
