Dear Class of 2024,
I hope you are enjoying your final fall semester at Ithaca College. I believe I speak for all of our faculty and staff when I say how wonderful it has been to support you as you complete your journey as an Ithaca College student.
My purpose in writing to you today is to share the college’s plans for your Commencement this coming May. We will host a single Commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 19, 2024, starting at 10:00 a.m. ET inside the Athletics and Events Center's Glazer Arena. The May 2024 Commencement ceremony is offered to students who are graduating in December 2023, as well as May, July, August, October, and December 2024.
Students are required to sign up to participate in this ceremony—please watch your inbox in early February for an email with additional details. As the date draws closer, more information will also be shared via the Ithaca College Commencement website.
Each graduate will have the opportunity to request up to four guest tickets when completing their sign-up registration. The ceremony will also be live streamed, and alternative viewing locations will be set up on campus for any guests who cannot join us in the Glazer Arena.
Class of 2024, it is our intention to offer you a meaningful, joyful moment that is reflective of all the magic that is Ithaca College. I cannot wait to celebrate with you and your loved ones in May.
Sincerely,
Melanie I. Stein
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
Announcing Plans for May 2024 Commencement
