Commencement
COVID-19 (Coronavirus) Response
The university has not set a date for a commencement ceremony for spring and summer 2020 graduates, nor have we made a decision about a December ceremony. We're so proud of all our graduates, and we'll provide more information as it becomes available.
You're welcome to visit campus to take photos. Follow the precautions outlined in Protecting the Pack.
