Save the Dates!

Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed your winter break. Save the dates for our upcoming celebration of your accomplishments. 

A few things to note as we prepare for your big day:

1. Mark your calendar for the Grad Fair! Attend the upcoming graduation fair to take regalia photos, order graduation items like announcements, custom stoles, and more. Enter giveaways, and enjoy free food, while supplies last.

2. Make plans for your Commencement ceremony. You and your loved ones are invited to the 164th Commencement ceremony!

A Commencement festival with food, drinks, games, photo opportunities, and live entertainment will stretch from Mudd Field to Tisch Park immediately after the ceremony. We’ll announce more details about the festival soon!

We encourage families to attend their student’s school events as well as the university-wide Commencement ceremony.
