Graduating students have been submitting information and photos for the virtual ceremony and also have the option to walk in a commencement ceremony in Dec. 2020.

Two students from Lincoln County have completed requirements for degrees from East Central University in Ada, Okla.
McKenzie Stanford of Tryon is among 97 master’s degree candidates and Makayla Whatley of Wellston is among 356 bachelor’s degree candidates for ECU’s Spring 2020 graduation.
The traditional commencement ceremony for graduates has been postponed this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. After a campuswide survey, ECU students voted to attend the December commencement ceremony.
