Important Dates and Information
Virtual Commencements Planned for Spring 2021 - Prescott Graduates Celebrated in “Grad Walk”
In addition to the Virtual Commencement, we are excited to share that Prescott campus graduates will be able to walk across the graduation stage as their name is read during the separate, festive “Grad Walk” event. Classmates, faculty and staff will be in attendance to applaud and cheer our grads on. Professional photographs and video will be taken of the event and posted online so that graduates can share their special moment with family and friends.
All Covid-19 safety protocols will be in place. To limit group sizes, family members and others outside of the Embry-Riddle community will not be able to attend the Grad Walk event.
All graduates will be individually recognized during virtual commencements celebrating the remarkably resilient Class of 2021 and will take place on Saturday, May 8 at 9:00am MST.
