In response to COVID-19 and the restriction on large gatherings, Northeast Iowa Community College will host a virtual commencement ceremony this spring.

The recorded ceremony will be broadcast on Facebook LIVE at 7:00 p.m. Thursday May 14th. Students, faculty, staff families and friends are encouraged to comment and interact during the broadcast. A recorded version of the ceremony will also be available at www.nicc.edu.

The virtual commencement ceremony will be the first online gathering of its kind in school history. The 60-minute virtual event will include the elements of a traditional graduation ceremony, including remarks from NICC President Dr. Wee and two graduating students, Becca Hermann and Megan Schultz. Hermann is a May 2020 graduate of the Dairy Science Technology program at the Calmar campus. Schultz is a December 2019 Associate of Arts graduate from the Peosta campus.
