The Missouri School of Journalism will recognize 109 students on Friday, Dec. 18 during Mizzou’s social media celebration for December 2020 graduates. The celebration will be taking place on the Journalism School’s Facebook page.

This celebration is intended to mark the traditional winter commencement and to allow families and friends an opportunity to publicly recognize the accomplishments of their Mizzou graduates – but it is not intended to replace the commencement ceremony.

Campus leadership is working on plans to invite all December graduates back to campus for an in-person commencement event at a later date. More details about that event will be communicated from MU leadership when available.

The schedule of the Journalism School’s commencement activities:

• 10 a.m. Official welcome and best wishes from Mizzou campus leaders. Available on Mizzou’s official Facebook page and shared on the Journalism School’s Facebook page.
• 2 p.m. Congratulations from Dean Kurpius.
• 2:10 p.m. Recognition of Kappa Tau Alpha new members.
• 2:15 p.m. Recognition of the Missouri School of Journalism winter 2020 graduates. A video will display names of our graduates in alphabetical order according to the following schedule.

• 2:30 p.m. Congratulations from J-School faculty and staff.
