CEP will email staff and faculty the day after commencement, and invite you to enter in the drawing.

Dogs on a leash

Please remember to keep your dog on a leash on Commencement day, as we will have nearly 3,000 guests on campus.

Commencement seating

If you attend the commencement ceremony, please leave the best seats for graduates’ friends and family.

Post-Commencement Reception

Please join us for the reception following the commencement ceremony, in the GCC quad. The reception will begin when the first graduate toasts his or her champagne. Come celebrate with the class of 2016!
