STARKVILLE, Miss.—Mississippi State is announcing plans for in-person spring commencement exercises to be held on the Starkville and Meridian campuses.
The Starkville campus will have four ceremonies—two each on April 29 and 30 in Humphrey Coliseum. MSU-Meridian will celebrate commencement on May 3 at the MSU Riley Center. Multiple viewing options will be available for those who wish to watch these events remotely.
MSU is requiring all attendees—including graduates, guests and university employees—to wear face coverings over the nose and mouth. Sanitizing stations will be available, and special seating and distancing protocols will be in place.
Attendance on April 29 and 30 in Starkville will be limited to four guests per graduate, and the Athletic Ticket Office will provide electronic ticketing for contactless entry. Tickets will be distributed in early April.
Each ceremony at Humphrey Coliseum will honor 600-750 graduates and have a guest capacity of approximately 3,000 in the facility which, under normal conditions, seats more than 10,000. Constant custodial sanitation will take place before, during and after all ceremonies with an intense focus on cleaning restrooms, entryways, and other high-touch areas.
