Idaho Falls — The College of Eastern Idaho community found itself in the same boat as other schools — wanting to celebrate its 2020 class but needing to come up with a creative way to do so.

CEI’S traditional May commencement at the Idaho Falls Civic Center was canceled because of the global COVID-19 pandemic. But the college is planning to honor students by holding a virtual graduation Thursday evening at 6 p.m., and a nurse pinning ceremony Tuesday night at the Teton Vu Drive-In in Rexburg.
