Hundreds of Emporia State University students are set to enter the next chapter of their lives this weekend.
ESU will be holding its commencement activities Friday and Saturday at Emporia’s William L. White Auditorium.
ESU Registrar Sheila Markowitz tells KVOE News this is an “ironic time” for her office.
Candidates for graduate degrees will get their diplomas at 6 pm Friday, while candidates for undergraduate degrees will have their ceremony begin at 9:30 am Saturday.
