Faculty
Commencement will be held on Sunday, May 31, 2020 on the Campus Green. For our graduates, faculty participation in the Commencement celebrations enhances this recognition of their accomplishments. A large faculty presence is also a public testimony to our University’s commitment to their success.
Academic Procession
The academic procession is one of the oldest university traditions and is widely viewed as a symbol of our collective dedication to the development of knowledge and academic inquiry. Faculty are invited to be a part of the academic procession; academic regalia is required.
Robing and formation of the line of march are scheduled for 11:15 a.m. in the Albert Sherman Center second floor atrium outside the auditorium. Commencement staff will help you with your regalia and direct you to your place in the processional. The academic procession will begin promptly at 11:45 a.m.
