The Admissions and Records Office held a first-ever drive-through diploma distribution event this July. From the safety of their vehicles, graduating students were able to obtain their certificates and degrees, diploma covers, caps, and tassels. Event staff set up two kiosks for drive-through distribution, where all participants were asked to wear a mask and remain in their vehicles to comply with social distancing guidelines.

The celebratory event saw numerous cars decorated and spirited, with family and friends as passengers to recognize the SBVC graduate. Event organizers say it was a great way to end the year for the unique Class of 2020, which had to transition to online learning and participate in the campus’ first-ever virtual commencement ceremony in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
