ESCANABA — Bay College will honor the Class of 2021 with a hybrid commencement ceremony, the college announced Monday.

All graduates will have the opportunity to participate in an in-person ­commencement experience walking across the Besse Theater stage in cap and gown. All participating graduates and a limited number of guests, speakers, and key elements of the ceremony will be recorded during scheduled commencement events and included in a large scale virtual event.

The complete ceremony will be available for viewing online on Commencement Day, April 24, via the college’s website and social media pages.

Graduates will be contacted to schedule their commencement event. Graduates who missed the March 1 application deadline for graduation may still apply, but must contact Julie Dollhopf in Student Services at 906-217-4129 or email degreecompletion@baycollege.edu for more information by March 19.

Because the number of people who will be admitted to the in-person commencement event is limited, the college has partnered with Sign UP Graphics, of Escanaba to offer “commencement cutouts” that will be used to fill the theater when the graduates are crossing the stage. Contact Sign UP Graphics at jean@signupprinting.com or 906-789-7446 by March 19 for information about purchasing a cutout.
