With daily developments showing an increase in COVID-19 cases and fatalities, new guidelines from the CDC and state/federal governments, it has become necessary to cancel all April in-person events including MCU’s Graduation Gala.
We have all been called upon to do our part to take proactive steps against the spread of COVID-19 including canceling gatherings of ten or more, engaging in social distancing, and employing high precautions when it comes to travel. We take the Health and Safety of our community very seriously and want to do what we can to safeguard against the further spread of COVID-19. This decision was not made lightly and is informed by guidance from medical professionals, state and national public health officials, and MCU stakeholders.

Documenting COVID travel concerns including cancellation and change fees, communication logs, and additional details is recommended.
