THANK YOU in advance for being a part of these exciting events and making Commencement a day to remember!

Commencement will take place on Thursday, May 23 at 1:30 p.m. at the Royal Farms Arena (201 W. Baltimore Street).

The day will conclude with the Senior Toast,  an undergraduate dessert reception form 8:30 – 10:30 p.m. on Keyser Quad on Homewood campus. Int he event of inclement weather, the event will move indoors to the Ralph S. O’Connor Recreation Center.
