Covid-19 Precautions
Bethany Seminary continues to follow Golden Rule practices, and we ask all who plan to attend our commencement ceremony to do the same — monitor your health, wear masks, maintain social distance, wash hands frequently, and get vaccinated when it is your turn. With these practices in place, we believe we can offer a safe in-person ceremony to honor our graduates. For those or are unable — or chose not — to attend in person, a live stream of the ceremony will be provided.
Please help us plan for commencement and prepare to welcome you into our alumni community by providing the information requested below. In order to R.S.V.P. for the ceremony, you must complete all the required fields, including sharing up-to-date contact information, confirming information about your future plans, and providing a photograph for us to display on screen during the livestream of the commencement ceremony.
