Stony Brook University has cancelled the Spring 2020 Commencement due to largely spread of COVID-19 as well as global pandemic. Given the situations, it is not advised to conduct any large gatherings, according to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo.

For us Senior students graduating this Spring, we all have been waiting for this special Commencement of our Class. We understand that conducting commencement in May is not possible, however, we do not want a virtual commencement to be held. We are asking if Stony Brook University could postpone the graduation until August, or during summer when the pandemic has stopped.

Help us to get this petition heard by The President of Stony Brook University and we are still able to have our Commencement.
