Great Bay Community College to Host In-Person Commencement

Officials at Great Bay Community College announced on Tuesday that they will hold four private, in-person ceremonies to celebrate their graduating class this week.

The ceremonies will be held outside under a tent at the school's Portsmouth campus at Pease Tradeport. A total of 330 diplomas, including degrees and certificates, will be awarded.

According to school officials, 183 graduates are planning to participate in the ceremonies on Friday and Saturday.

A press release states that 27 students who received degrees last year during remote commencement ceremonies will also participate.

Interim President Cathryn Addy will deliver the commencement address at all four events.

Attendees will be asked to wear masks and stay six feet apart from each other during the cermonies.
