DSCC Plans Outdoor Commencement May 7
Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) will hold its 51st annual commencement exercises May 7, at 6:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Dyersburg campus, in front of the E.B. Eller Administration Building. In case of rain, commencement will be held May 8, at 10 a.m. at the same location. DSCC has received 465 intents to graduate from students. Graduates will be allowed two tickets each for guests, including children, to attend. Tickets will be distributed when students pick up their caps and gowns.
Graduates are asked to report to the E.B. Eller Administration Building at 1 p.m. for rehearsal. Before the commencement ceremony, students are asked to arrive at the LRC by 5:45 p.m. for screening and lineup.
Although only two guests per student will be allowed in the guest seating area provided by the College, additional friends and family may bring lawn chairs that can be placed around the outside perimeter.
Face masks and social distancing will be required of students, faculty, staff and guests at all times while on DSCC property. Guests will be required to enter through the north side of the campus from Country Club Drive. From there, guests will be guided past the Security Bank Community Learning Center to the closest parking available near the Eller Building.
The event will be livestreamed via the College’s YouTube channel and later posted to its Facebook page.
