On Thursday, U.S. Naval Academy officials also announced that the institution was delaying the return of midshipmen from spring break through March 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are disappointed to have to cancel our upcoming graduation, and miss this momentous occasion to take pride in our students\u2019 academic achievements,\u201d said retired Vice Adm. Ann E. Rondeau, the president of the Naval Postgraduate School, in<a href=\"https:\/\/nps.edu\/-\/nps-cancels-winter-quarter-graduation-ceremony-to-reduce-covid-19-risks\" target=_blank> a release posted<\/a> on its official website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPublicly conferring our credentials to our students is a celebration of individual commitment, persistence, perseverance and personal accomplishment. Given current circumstances, ensuring the health and welfare of our NPS personnel and their families must take priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAfter a thorough risk assessment, we concluded that this level of gathering posed an unnecessary risk of exposure. We cancel this graduation out of an obligation to sustain NPS\u2019 essential mission of providing graduate-level education, and out of an obligation to the worldwide mission our graduating students have been preparing for, and must execute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/navytimes\/news\/your-navy\/2020\/03\/13\/naval-academy-extends-spring-break-amid-coronavirus-concerns\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"203\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP_976255778310.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Naval Academy extends spring break amid coronavirus concerns<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Midshipmen are expected to resume remote learning on March 20.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rondeau\u2019s decision affects 170 graduating students, who will be invited to participate in a future ceremony.
