GRAND RAPIDS TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — Cornerstone University has taken big steps to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, including clearing out campus, sending students home and now, canceling commencement.
University leaders say the decision was an agonizing one, something the university has never done in their 81-year history.
“This decision to cancel commencement is so disheartening and it’s so difficult and agonizing, frankly. These students have worked hard,” Cornerstone University Vice President Bob Sack said. “Students in the traditional undergrads, students in our adult programs, students in our seminary have worked so hard to get to this point, and to have to cancel the crowning moment so to speak is so disheartening.”
