WAYNE William Paterson University will hold a combination of in-person and virtual graduation ceremonies for the Class of 2021.
Almost 2,400 students will have bachelor s, master s, and doctoral degrees conferred to them at the online event, set for May 14. That will be followed by 11 on-campus events, each expected to last an hour, between Monday and Wednesday of the ensuing week.
It is the second straight year that the university has improvised graduation plans amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
New Jersey colleges are dealing with the situation in different ways.
Montclair State University will spread out several in-person ceremonies over a week, while Seton Hall University will hold two events on May 20, and a third on May 25, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. Rutgers, meanwhile, will celebrate its graduating class in a virtual format.

Since Rutgers became the first college in America to require that every student be vaccinated against COVID before returning to campus this fall, more than a hundred others have jumped on board – including nearly a dozen colleges in New Jersey.
This growing movement to require the shot could help vaccinate tens of millions of college-age Americans if all universities follow suit. That matters, because the more we allow the virus to circulate, the greater the chance that new variants could pop up that are more contagious, dangerous, or difficult to inoculate against.
As the COVID-19 pandemic stretched on, children who have been called on to do their part still may not fully understand why they have had to skip play date
