More than 90 graduates, along with  family members and friends, attended WGU’s Summer Commencement on July 11, 2009, at Kingsbury Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah.

WGU invited 5 Houston  grads and their families to assemble at the Crowne Plaza Houston Medical Center to watch and celebrate together.With WGU’s commencement being held 1,600 miles away, these graduates were not able to attend commencement in person. So, they attended commencement the same way they earned their degrees—online—via live streaming video.
