FAIRMONT, W.Va. (AP) - Fairmont State University’s Class of 2020 will have a virtual commencement this weekend, with in-person ceremonies tentatively set for Aug. 8.

University President Mirta Martin will give a welcome address, and students were invited to record a message or photo and message to be included in the ceremony. The virtual ceremony can be viewed at fairmont.stageclip.com beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, the university said in a news release.

Martin said the class “deserves celebrating” because “they confronted the defining crisis of our time and persevered.”



A virtual nursing pinning ceremony and virtual senior award celebration are planned for Wednesday. Links to each event will be available on the university’s social media.
