WKU to confer degrees in virtual ceremony on May 15

Hilltoppers, as we count down the days until we come together for Commencement this fall, join us in celebrating our nearly 2,700 spring 2020 graduates virtually.

On May 15, the WKU Board of Regents will accept the recommendation of President Timothy C. Caboni and Provost Cheryl Stevens to confer degrees upon graduating students. This ceremonial process will be streamed online at 4 p.m. CDT on Facebook and YouTube.

WKU will confer degrees and certificates to 2,687 graduates -- 53 associate degrees, 1,837 bachelor’s degrees, 492 master’s and specialist degrees, 54 doctoral degrees, 160 undergraduate certificates and 91 graduate certificates.

Continue the celebration by using our Facebook profile frames and Instagram stickers. Include #WKUGrad in your photos and our Hilltopper Family can view all public photos on our Commencement site. We'll also share select posts on our Instagram and Facebook Stories.

During the weekend of September 18-20, WKU tentatively plans to host Commencement celebration activities. The weekend coincides with the annual Parent & Family Weekend. As plans develop, dates and times will be provided.
