Commencement: A Beginning

There is no doubt that a student鈥檚 graduation marks a tremendous achievement. You have tackled difficult exams, participated in extracurricular activities, and possibly completed an internship or research project 鈥� all while making life-long friends and memories.

Rather than an ending, commencement (both the word and the ceremony) represents a beginning. It is appropriate that an occasion that marks the beginning of a new phase of life should be conducted with pomp and circumstance, stateliness, and tradition.

 

THE FALL 2025 APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 2 (TUESDAY).

To graduate, a student must submit an application for graduation.To participate in commencement, the application must be submitted by September 2.
