The University of Hawaii at Hilo invites the public to its virtual fall 2020 commencement at 9 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 19. The pre-recorded ceremony can be viewed on the UH-Hilo commencement web page at https://hilo.hawaii.edu/commencement/.

Approximately 279 students, including summer graduates, will receive their degrees and certificates. The pre-recorded video will also include congratulatory messages from UH-Hilo dignitaries along with name cards that include pictures and messages from graduates. Each graduate will have a “clickable” student page that displays their degree and certificate types along with their uploaded pictures and messages.

“This year’s graduates have pursued their learning through lava, hurricane and pandemic,” noted UH-Hilo Chancellor Bonnie Irwin. “I am impressed with their resilience and grateful for the dedication of the faculty and staff who have helped them in this journey. The future of our island and our state is in good hands with these remarkable graduates.”
