Commencement

In light of government advisories pertaining to H1N1 flu, SUNYIT is asking all those planning to take part in our December Commencement to ensure a safe event by following basic preventive measures before and during the event.

If candidates for graduation, family members or others experience flu-like symptoms in the days prior to the ceremony they should use discretion, consult with a health care professional, and avoid attending the event if they are ill.
