More than 600 graduates were eligible to walk or drive thru to receive their degrees. Graduates came in one car, exited to receive their degrees and for photo ops. A virtual ceremony was held in the late afternoon. UH-Maui College had originally announced a livestream event last month but changed to the drive-thru as COVID-19 emergency rules were loosened.
