• Commencement is intended to be a festive occasion celebrating the accomplishments of our students. However, it is also ceremonial. Cell phones are permitted, but out of courtesy for other participants, students are asked to make judicious use of phones and not use them during the formal speaking portions of the ceremony.
• It is particularly important that students respect their fellow students, faculty, staff, administrators, and guests who have come to witness and participate in the conferring of their degrees.

Please plan post-ceremony activities accordingly.

There are a number of excellent locations around campus (and the valley) for photographs!
