Excerpt from the Dayton Daily News
Amid the coronavirus pandemic, local college and university students are having to deal with their last months of the school year looking very different than they anticipated — especially seniors.
“We just got the message yesterday that we had to get everything out by Friday,” said Beth Metcalf, a Wright State senior studying finance. “I was really sad because my roommate lives in a different state so we didn’t expect to have to say goodbye so quickly.”
Students from area campuses are packing their belongings to head home almost two months before the expected end of semester.
The University of Dayton is waiting to make an official call regarding commencement ceremonies; however, Wright State University on Tuesday night announced that it has postponed its spring commencement.
“To be sure, the university WILL hold a graduation celebration for the class of 2020, on a date yet to be determined,” WSU President Sue Edwards said.
