CSU Class of 2020: We know this week isn't what you had in mind. You are a very special class, who overcame many great challenges, and we are disappointed that ...COVID-19 altered commencement plans. Until we can all safely celebrate in-person later this year, we hope you will join us for a virtual celebration. Tune in this Friday at 3 p.m. when President Markwood and Provost Bordelon will virtually confer your degrees. Also please take pictures and videos of your quarantine-style graduation traditions and share them with us using #CreateYourGradDay. Congratulations on this tremendous accomplishment! https://news.columbusstate.edu/columbus-state-university-to See more

COVID-19 might have changed our Spring 2020 Commencement plans, but we aren’t going to let it take away our day. CSU Cougars, Class of 2020: let’s show the world just what Creative to the Core means. Whether you wear a house robe instead of your graduation gown, dance across your couch instead of a stage, or toss your cap in your front yard - we want to see how you #CreateYourGradDay! Take the challenge by posting a photo or brief video of your quarantined graduation traditio...n with the hashtag, #CreateYourGradDay. Don’t forget to challenge three other CSU seniors to take the challenge with you. You can even get together virtually with a few friends to create a collaborative video montage (while respecting social distancing of course). All videos will be posted at social.columbusstate.edu, and who knows a few may resurface at your actual graduation ceremony. See more
