The Main Commencement Ceremony at 2:00 p.m. is the ceremony where the President of the University acknowledges degree recipients. It is the “pomp and circumstance” activity. The President presides at this ceremony. The members of the Board of Trustees attend. An honored guest, usually of national or international status, is the official Commencement Speaker. The Honorary degrees and the Sullivan Medallions are awarded. All graduates of all colleges are encouraged to attend this event; approximately 8,000 persons attend this event. Your college recognition activity is where the dean of your college presides and when you will be recognized individually.
