And it's very important to us to celebrate it," Gonzalez said. "Commencement is something that is very sacred to UWF and we realize that it's obviously one of the most significant milestones in someone's life, and this is a very, very important achievement. That's why the university is inviting those students back for this spring's in-person ceremony. The past two commencement ceremonies for spring and fall 2020 graduates have been virtual. There will be multiple ceremonies so times are yet to be determined while university staff gauge interest, said UWF spokeswoman Megan Gonzalez. The university usually holds its event at the Pensacola Bay Center, but decided to move it outdoors this year to the Blue Wahoos Stadium to keep attendees safer. The University of West Florida has made one major change in its commencement ceremonies to adapt to the pandemic.
