Other major events in the Princeton community that have been canceled for this year include Communiversity, Princeton University reunions, and all Princeton University in-person graduation events. Princeton Theological Seminary has also canceled its commencement ceremony that was scheduled for this May. Westminster Choir College’s commencement has been postponed.
