Change is Coming to Commencement | |
Class of 2024 graduates will have their name called as they walk across the stage at Commencement on May 30.The rest of the program will be streamlined to accommodate the extra time needed for this and as a result there will not be a post-event barbecue, but there will still be plenty of time to pose for photos with family and friends after the ceremony.
For more details, please bookmark the class of 2024 webpage.
Faculty, Staff, and Students:
Commencement Needs YOU in order to be a success.
Sign up to volunteer.
