Congratulations on your achievement!

September 19, 2020, Makeup Ceremony Cancelled
To Celebrate December 2019 and May 2020 Undergraduates
It is with deep regret that we have made the difficult decision to cancel the September 19, 2020, Commencement Ceremony for the December 2019 and May 2020 bachelor’s and associate graduates. As we approach the September 19 date, we want to provide you time to cancel travel arrangements. Commencement planning teams and Baker leadership have met regularly to coordinate a ceremony that would be safe for graduates, their guests, and our faculty and staff. We began these meetings with great optimism that cases of COVID-19 would drastically and consistently decrease leading up to the ceremony. Unfortunately, as we monitor local scorecards, it is evident that this is not the reality.
While this is not the outcome we had hoped for, your Baker family is and always will be proud of your accomplishments and especially your resilience and perseverance. You represent the best of what it means to be a Baker Wildcat.
Check back for December 2020 dates.
