Although this reception will celebrate winter 2025 graduates, it is not intended to replace official spring commencement and graduation recognition ceremonies that will take place in May 2026. All winter graduates are welcome and encouraged to return to campus for the entire schedule of commencement events that include the formal conferral of degrees and having your name read aloud as you cross the stage.

Graduates are allowed to invite their family members and guests to the celebration on Dec. 12.
