The walk-through Commencement will be held in accordance with state and local COVID-19 guidelines and NMC safety protocols, which are subject to change. Graduates will be assigned a time to walk across the Milliken stage to receive congratulations from college officials. Graduates will most likely be grouped by program area, and will be contacted directly via their NMC e-mail with further details.&#160;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Each graduate may invite two guests inside Milliken. Everyone must wear masks and guest groups will be socially distanced inside the auditorium. The event will not be open to the general public.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The ceremony will be streamed online for those who cannot attend in person at&#160;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/NorthwesternMichiganCollege\">youtube.com\/NorthwesternMichiganCollege<\/a>. Following the walk-through, graduates may continue their celebration outside the museum, where additional guests may join, following social distancing guidelines.
