Valley City  (VCSU) Valley City State University will hold a virtual commencement ceremony on Thursday, Dec. 17, to honor its graduating class during the 2020 summer and fall semesters. VCSU will recognize 95 graduates – 81 will receive bachelor’s degrees and 14 will receive master’s degrees.

The VCSU virtual ceremony will play on the university’s YouTube channel at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 17.

VCSU President, Dr. Alan LaFave says, “Although we wish we could honor our graduates with an in-person ceremony, we trust that this virtual ceremony will provide a way to recognize their accomplishments. We are also inviting all the graduates back to campus to participate in our next in-person commencement ceremony.”

Graduating senior Brady Matheny (Lisbon, N.D.) will deliver the undergraduate reflection, and the faculty reflection will be presented by Lee Kruger, associate professor of English.

A Kudoboard, a digital message board, has been set up to convey well-wishes and congratulations to the winter 2020 graduates. Please visit the Kudoboard site to leave a message or welcome the new graduates to the VCSU alumni family. Parents, families, and friends of graduates are also welcome to leave messages.
