Commencement ceremonies looked slightly different this summer, as SAU adapted to the changes that COVID-19 brought not only to the SAU community, but the entire globe. As a result, all six commencement ceremonies were held at Wilkins Football Stadium on campus. In addition, a number of spring graduates who received their degrees in May 2020 also chose to walk in the summer commencement ceremonies, due to the spring commencement ceremonies being cancelled. The fall commencement ceremony was held in Wilkins Stadium in November, as the fall semester ended earlier than normal.
SAU wasn’t able to host the annual Celebration of Lights ceremony in December because of COVID, but that didn’t stop us from filling the campus with the traditional holiday displays. The festive lights throughout campus brought the magic of the holidays for all of the community to enjoy.

The Mulerider Express Convenience Store also offers snacking, groceries or on-the-go meals to serve all of the SAU community. The café, which is located in the Reynolds Center, is open Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. to satisfy the coffee cravings of campus and community members.
