UNC Charlotte Makes Plans For An In-Person 2021 Graduation

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — UNC Charlotte officials say 2021 graduates will have the opportunity to graduate at an outdoor in-person ceremony, with a limited number of guests allowed due to Governor Cooper’s latest COVID-19 guidelines for public gatherings.
