Good day everyone,
We have an important update to share regarding graduation.
After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that we will not be hosting a live graduation ceremony this year. With the current global circumstances and the challenges many students may face with both domestic and international travel we feel that moving forward with a live event at this time would not allow for the inclusive and meaningful experience our students deserve.
However, this is not a cancellation, it is a strategic step forward.
We are already planning ahead for a 2027 live graduation, and our goal is to make it a truly memorable and well-attended celebration. In the coming weeks, we will be sending out a short survey to gather your input. This will help us design an event that reflects your preferences while also allowing ample time for:
- Students to complete their programs
- Confirmation of graduation eligibility
- Proper travel planning and accommodations
We understand this news may be disappointing. Please know that we were greatly looking forward to celebrating with you in person as well. At the same time, this extended timeline creates a valuable opportunity—especially for those who may not have been able to attend this year.
We encourage you to set your sights on this goal:
Finish strong. Stay committed. Plan for 2027.
Together, we will make this a graduation worth remembering.
Thank you for your understanding, your dedication, and your continued commitment to your journey.
We look forward to celebrating with you in 2027.
Your IIOM Family
