More details will be sent out closer to the date. The 2020 Commencement ceremony will be held on Thursday, May 28. The main ceremony begins around 9am on the main green, and is followed by the departmental ceremonies, which usually begin around 12.30pm-1.00pm. The English department ceremony is held in the Goldstein Theater. All graduating students and their families are welcome to attend. If you are close to graduating and plan on taking classes over the summer to complete your degree, you are also welcome to attend. Students are seated on the stage, while seating for families in the auditorium is on a first-come basis. We don't distribute tickets to the event, but there is always ample seating for everyone who comes. The ceremony usually lasts about an hour, and is followed by a reception. Students may attend either the main ceremony or the department ceremony or both. Regalia is not required for the department ceremony, but is encouraged. More information about regalia rental and graduation photos will be sent out closer to the date. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about commencement.
