In our ongoing commitment to being responsive and student-centered, I announce today that students who are eligible for December Commencement will also be eligible to attend our May ceremonies moving forward.

An August 13, 2021, email from this office indicated that this practice would be discontinued. That decision has been reversed after hearing from several of our graduates and families about the importance of participating in the May ceremony. Our thanks to those who stepped forward and shared their feedback.

Congratulations to our December graduates and to their families.

Melanie I. Stein
Interim Provost
