bg真人’s commencement activities were previously scheduled for early May but were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition to the Aug. 22 commencement ceremony, there will also be an online sharing and awards program for the seminary community, the graduates and their guests, and a socially distanced in-person outdoor reception by invitation only.
