As part of Commencement 2021, graduates are being invited to a Graduate Parade on the LLCC Springfield campus on Thursday, May 13, beginning at 6 p.m. (rain date Saturday, May 15, 10 a.m.). Students who have signed up for the Virtual Commencement will be sent invitations to participate in the Graduate Parade.

Participating faculty and staff will be assigned locations along the campus parade route. LLCC will provide faculty and staff with free T-shirts to wear at the event. The T-shirts have the theme “Driven to Succeed” with an original logo by Greg Walbert, graphic design manager. Complete the T-shirt order form by Thursday, April 15. (Even if you cannot participate in the event, you can order a free T-shirt.)

2021 graduates have also been invited to the LLCC Springfield campus Wednesday, May 12 and Thursday, May 13 (times are TBD) to a “selfie station” in the Trutter Center and at Outreach Centers. Students will sign up for a time so proper social distancing can be ensured. Virtual Commencement video, with speakers and photos of graduates, will debut online on Friday, May 14 at 7 p.m.
