Hello I’m reporting live for @TheStateHornet on @SacStateASI board meeting on Zoom. This meeting includes a presentation on virtual commencement with @sacstate student feedback.

“There looks like there is no opportunity to do anything for a year,” Cely Smart said. “We hope that students come back next May to walk.” @TheStateHornet

“We are planning to launch the celebration on June 6,” Smart said. @TheStateHornet

Smart states that it doesn’t appear that there’s an ability to host the commencement at the @sacstateunion @TheStateHornet

Virtual commencement would have each college have their own page with a message from @sacstate President Nelsen. @TheStateHornet

Smart presents potential graduate slides that could be included in the @sacstate virtual commencement. @TheStateHornet

Smart states that having no commencement next May will not impact when graduates receive Diplomas. @TheStateHornet

“So at first just like everyone else I was upset about this proposal,” @SacStateASI President Denisse Garcia said. “I think this is a good direction that Sac State is going into to at least celebrate graduates one way or another.” @TheStateHornet

Smart clarifies that the virtual commencement would be optional. @TheStateHornet

Smart states that @sacstate would try to add days to the 2021 commencement so students who were not able to participate this year are able to participate. @TheStateHornet

Smart states that the virtual commmencemnt would have no log in and can be shared with anyone in the world. @TheStateHornet
