Congratulations on the completion of your graduate degree, a significant achievement well worth celebrating. We are excited to celebrate our graduate students on Saturday, May 16, 2026 in the A&E Center’s Glazer Arena. Due to the smaller numbers involved with the Graduate Hooding and Commencement ceremony on Saturday, all family and friends of graduate students are cordially invited to attend. There will not be a limit on how many guests you may bring and guests tickets are not required. The ceremony will also be live streamed.
You will need to register to participate in this ceremony—please watch your inbox in February for an email with additional details. As the date draws closer, more information will also be shared on this website.
Congratulations!
In May we will hold a Graduate Hooding and Commencement ceremony that celebrates the individual accomplishments of our graduate students. During the ceremony, you will be formally hooded by your respective faculty, and we will formally confer your graduate degree.
The Graduate Hooding and Commencement ceremony will be held on Saturday, May 16, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET.
