Celebrate our graduates’ accomplishments from the stage. We will honor the entire undergraduate Class of 2026 at the main ceremony, and graduating students will hear their names called and cross the stage at their individual school and college ceremonies. The formal conferral of degrees will be included in the main ceremony. Our hope is that as many faculty and administrators as possible will attend to celebrate our graduates’ accomplishments.
