Commencement Ceremonies

Fall Commencement

University Ceremony - December 12, 2020

On Oct. 22, Drake University announced the difficult decision to cancel its December commencement exercises as a result of the COVID-19 Novel Coronavirus pandemic. In place of its traditional ceremonies, the University will hold a virtual commencement celebration to recognize undergraduates and graduates of the Class of 2020. Planning for the virtual event is underway and more details will be communicated soon. May, August, and December 2020 graduates will be invited to participate in the University’s next traditional, in-person commencement ceremony as soon as it is safe to do so.
