The last time there was a change in the Graduation Ceremony timing was to graduate a class early to meet the needs of the US Navy during World War 2. The COVID-19 pandemic has already closed The Yard to visitors, and kept the Brigade away from Annapolis.
Today we hear that the Class of 2020 Graduation Ceremony (at least the one we are all use to) has been cancelled, and that there will be something more “virtual” put in its place.
Herndon and the Ring Dance will still happen….just at a later time. I wonder in the incoming Class of 2024 will get to watch the Class of 2023 do their Herndon??
