One at One: Graduation in New Jersey

Today’s Issue:

How many people may attend an in-person, outdoor commencement ceremony?

Answer:

State guidance says graduations must meet the relevant capacity limitation on in-person gatherings in place at the time of the ceremony. Currently outdoor gatherings are limited to 25 people, though that is expected to change in the coming months. Holding multiple ceremonies is recommended.
