Following the latest health and safety guidelines from St. Louis County, Logan University will recognize 2020 graduates with a virtual commencement ceremony at 10 AM Saturday, August 22 for August 2020 College of Chiropractic and College of Health Science graduates as well as 4pm for the April 2020 College of Health Sciences graduates. We will honor the accomplishments of the August 2020 graduating class with a Virtual Award Ceremony, as we did for the April 2020 graduating class.

Making this decision did not come easily. We know graduates have worked hard to get to this point, making personal and family sacrifices. We, too, would like nothing more than to celebrate with graduates in person. To have classmates, friends and family gathered together for this momentous occasion would make us all feel a part of their success.

COVID-19 has created an environment that no one has experienced before – with emotions and situations that had never entered our minds. While we know we have to come up with solutions that are never going to satisfy everyone involved, we are a health care institution dedicated to supporting a healthy environment for our students, faculty, staff, and guests.

Logan University strives to be in compliance with all directives and will continue to make decisions focused on the safety, health and welfare of our community. We are closely monitoring all activities for our campus as the COVID-19 situation continues to unfold in our region.

Please know that when we are able to get back together, 2020 graduates are welcome to participate in any of Logan’s in-person graduation ceremonies with full regalia, pomp and circumstance. As always, we appreciate your patience, understanding and cooperation as we work through our plans together.

Over the next two weeks Logan will be rolling out more detailed plans to recognize the tremendous work graduates have successfully completed. We know that commencement ceremonies are opportunities to acknowledge and celebrate their accomplishments, and we will.
