June Afternoon Ceremony

A digital program will be available on Commencement Day. Graduates will also receive a commemorative program with their diplomas in the mail.

The commencement program lists the names of all graduates earning a degree from Fall 2022 through Summer 2023. Fall 2023 graduates’ names will be listed in the 2024 program.

If you are unable to attend the ceremony in person, you can watch the ceremony online. The ceremony videos will go live shortly before the beginning of each ceremony.

A professional photographer will take at least one picture of each graduate as they receive their diploma cover. Graduates will be photographed with no obligation to purchase.

Photos will be available for purchase through After Image Studios. Please visit their website 2-3 days after the ceremony to view the proofs of your graduate's photos.

For those wishing to commemorate the occasion with flowers, arrangements will be available for sale at the entrance to each ceremony.
