The University of Louisville has dedicated a pavilion to the Class of 2020, who was forced to have a virtual graduation because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Members of the class of 2020, who missed their graduation because of pandemic restrictions, were also invited to participate in the ceremony.
The Jefferson County Board of Education voted unanimously Tuesday to allow schools to host outdoor commencement celebrations with limited attendance on May 27, May 28 and May 29.
The gatherings will be smaller because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced JCPS and other Kentucky school districts to close their classrooms and cancel ceremonies like graduations near the end of the 2019-20 school year.
University officials announced Thursday that in-person commencement will take place in May at Cardinal Stadium for the first time.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, the ceremonies will be held virtually this month.
Police asked that anyone with information on the thefts call the Shelby County Sheriff's Office at 502-633-4324.
The school is also offering to mail diplomas to students who were unable to make it to the distribution on Wednesday.
The Class of 2020 will have until May 28 (or whenever supplies are “exhausted”) to sign in and download their free-pizza coupons.
