The Winter 2023 Commencement Ceremony will be held on Tuesday, December 19 at 11:00 a.m. (snow date is December 20).
To make your participation as easy as possible and to ensure that the ceremony runs
smoothly for our graduates and their families, we would like to request the following
actions at this time. Please:
Let us know if you are attending.
If you already have academic regalia, please indicate it on the RSVP form so that adequate seating may be reserved for faculty and staff.
Order Regalia.
If you do not already have academic regalia, please RSVP and order online by Friday, November 10. If you order regalia and are unable to attend commencement, please notify the Bookstore so that your regalia can be used if needed.
Pick up Regalia.
Faculty and staff should pick up their regalia in the Campus Bookstore. Bookstore
hours are Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Friday from 9 a.m. until
1 p.m. The Bookstore will be open on the day of Commencement. You will receive a notification
when your regalia arrives.
Arrive on Time.
Please arrive at Nold Athletic Complex with your cap and gown by 10:15 a.m.
Return Regalia.
A representative from the Bookstore will be in Nold Hall Room 102 to collect all faculty/staff
regalia once the ceremony concludes.
Volunteer to Assist.
Volunteers will help line up students, adjust hoods, seat parents and dignitaries,
and guide our guests. If you can help, contact Jenn Infante for more information:

Although it is not mandatory, I strongly encourage faculty and staff to attend Commencement,
and join me in recognizing the achievements of our students. Their newly earned degrees
are the result of your dedication and hard work.

President
