The University of Charleston has postponed its May commencement and instead will have a “virtual commencement” May 2 and allow graduates to participate in the December commencement ceremony. The university said regulations prohibiting large gatherings during the coronavirus crisis and the school’s priority to keep students and their friends and families, faculty and staff safe forced officials to rethink graduation this year. The university is asking each senior to upload of photo to be displayed during the university’s virtual commencement.
