Citrus College will be hosting the 2021 Commencement Ceremony as a virtual event.
Superintendent/President Dr. Geraldine Perri announced in a March 26 email to students that the ceremony will be a YouTube video despite the California Department of Public Health allowing outdoor events in a limited capacity. The video will be posted on June 12.
The email said that college leadership chose to heed the Los Angeles Department of Public Health’s advice stating that while outdoor events are allowed, “that does not mean those activities are ‘safe’.”
However, there are plans on having a distanced drive-up area on campus where graduating students can take graduation photos. The drive-up area will be available sometime before June 12.
Graduates can expect communication from the college in April as well as a “grad pack” in the mail with “fun swag items to commemorate their achievements.”
The school is planning to launch a website dedicated to the commencement ceremony with more information in April.
