Kansas State University has canceled its Fall Commencement, set for this weekend, as the COVID outbreak worsens on campus and across the State. University Officials announced the cancellation yesterday. The graduation events in Manhattan and Salina had been scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The University instead will hold a virtual commencement in December and will release details on that event at a later date. KSU President, Richard Myers, says that hundreds of new cases announced in both communities in recent days led University officials to consult with county health departments and the decision to cancel the ceremonies.
