Face Masks Required at All Commencement Activities
In light of rising COVID-19 cases across L.A. County, face masks will be required at all Commencement activities this weekend, including Friday’s Commencement Mass, Saturday’s 109th Commencement Exercises, and post-event college receptions. This precautionary measure is in alignment with today’s CDC recommendation that all individuals, regardless of vaccination status, wear face coverings while in highly populated areas, including large event venues.
Commencement Mass
Out of an abundance of caution, due to the Delta variant and increased virus transmission in L.A. County, LMU Commencement Mass on Friday, July 30, has been moved outdoors to Sculpture Garden, adjacent to Sacred Heart Chapel.
