PORTALES, NM – Dec. 7, 2021 – Fall Commencement for Eastern New Mexico University returns to Greyhound Arena, as 292 candidates are scheduled to walk the stage for graduation on Saturday, Dec. 11 at 10 a.m.
The fall commencement address will be given by graduating senior Lauren Anderson. Ms. Anderson is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in biology, with an emphasis in pre-medicine and a minor in chemistry.
In addition to Saturday’s in-person graduates, ENMU boasts an additional 222 graduates receiving their diplomas that will not be in attendance, bringing the total number of Fall 2021 graduates to 514.
Saturday’s event marks the first time since December of 2019 that commencement has been in person in Greyhound Arena. The Spring and Fall commencements for 2020 were held virtually due to COVID -19, while the Spring 2021 graduation was held outdoors at Greyhound Stadium. That ceremony marked the first time since 1966 that the event was an outdoor occasion.
The Fall 2021 ceremony will require masks for anyone in attendance. For more information, please contact the ENMU registrars office at 575.562.2175.
