FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Yes. Winthrop University has postponed MAY 2020 commencement ceremonies due to the global COVID-19 pandemic to Saturday, August 15, 2020.
Dr. Hynd, Interim President stated:
"I ask you to save the date for Winthrop University’s Commencement on Saturday, August 15, 2020. This was not an easy decision as there remains much uncertainty about where we will be as a state and a nation in three months’ time. However, the commencement committee and senior leadership felt strongly that students' Winthrop experiences should not end without appropriate recognition and celebration. Therefore, we will remain hopeful about the status of gatherings in mid-August and will share more details as we move forward with our plans."
We will continue to keep our graduates, their families and the Winthrop community informed as plans develop in the coming weeks.
