Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic, the 2021 graduation ceremonies will be unique. To keep a limited number of people on-campus, a small amount of staff and faculty will be present to welcome graduates and their families to their own individual and intimate ceremony.

NVIT will take the highest precautions to ensure the health and safety of all those within the NVIT community and we ask that if any graduates or family members experience any COVID-19 symptoms to not attend this graduation ceremony.
