COMMERCE – The Texas A&M University-Commerce men’s basketball team has announced schedule changes for this weekend’s games, with the postponement of existing games and the addition of another. 

They postponed the games at St. Edward’s University scheduled for Friday and Saturday due to COVID-19 concerns within the SEU men’s basketball program.

Lion Athletics honors 23 December graduates with special online recognitions.

Graduates will continue to be recognized online in the absence of traditional ceremonies.

COMMERCE – While Texas A&M University-Commerce commencement ceremonies were unable to be held traditionally, with large gatherings of family and friends celebrating in the Field House, Lion Athletics was still able to celebrate its December 2020 graduates in a Best In Class fashion. 

On Wednesday, the December graduates were honored with an online graduation reception over video conference with President Dr. Mark Rudin and deans and other university leadership offering remarks and graduates updating the group on their upcoming plans. They had special access to a video featuring their athletic and academic accomplishments, with that video now released to the public.

Each graduate would have customarily worn a special sash designating their athletic accomplishment (student-athlete, cheer team, athletic trainer) as they walked across the stage to receive their diploma. The department delivered the sashes to each graduate, and their photos will be featured on social media in the coming weeks to ensure each graduate receives public recognition. 

23 student-athletes, spirit squad members, and student support staff are December graduates, with 20 undergraduate students and three graduate students receiving their degrees.
