Postpone CU Denver Spring 2020 Commencement

The Issue

Hi there Lynx Family!

On March 18th, 2020 CU Denver announced that Spring 2020 graduation has been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Similar to our peers at CU Boulder we have started a petition on behalf of all of the graduating class of 2020 to postpone graduation rather than canceling the event as a whole. 

I know we all remember the first time we stepped on campus and we came together for convocation. We were given a cap & gown from CU Denver to wear for the day so we could envision ourselves crossing the stage. Now that the time has come we may be robbed of this once in a lifetime event due to the public health crisis happening now. Though we understand the severity of this crisis, we would like to ask the administration to postpone graduation like our fellow students at the Metropolitan State University of Denver. 

We all have worked hard to get to this moment. This day isn’t just about ourselves but for our families too. 

Students/Family/Staff/Alumni: Please support the Class of 2020 by signing and sharing this petition!
