For more than 30 years, school recognition events have been an important part of Commencement weekend’s festivities. These smaller, more intimate ceremonies often recognize each student by name and give your friends and family the opportunity to meet and mingle with the faculty and students who know you best.
Each school, department, or program organizes its own event, which may be held before or after the main Commencement ceremony.
