Graduation Celebration Events
Below is a list of graduation celebration events that have been shared with the Commencement office. These events will not include any awarding of degrees or related rituals that traditionally take place at the official Commencement ceremonies.
This is not a comprehensive list, so please contact your department, student organization or college directly if you do not see an event listed below. The list will be updated as information is available.
