Commencement 2027
In addition to the university-wide Commencement Ceremony (for all schools and degrees), students are recognized at smaller events planned as part of Commencement.
Families should plan to attend their student’s school events as well as the university-wide Commencement ceremony. School events are smaller and may include students crossing the stage for individual recognition, unlike the large university ceremony.
