About the Ceremony

Commencement will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 29, 2011. It is an exciting event for graduates and their families that marks the end of one road and the beginning of another. It is a busy day for students, faculty, and administrators.

We ask that you help us make it the best day possible by following these guidelines when arriving at the Petersen Events Center:

• Doors to the Petersen Events Center will open at 11 a.m. Family and friends are encouraged to arrive as early as possible in order to avoid a rush when the ceremony begins.
• Graduates are to arrive no later than noon. All students will process by degree and school onto the floor of the Petersen Events Center floor at the beginning of the ceremony. It is imperative that they be lined up for academic procession prior to the start of the ceremony.
• All graduates are to enter the Petersen Events Center through the lawn level entrance. Family and friends may enter through the lobby level or Concourse A entrances.

Following the ceremony, the University Club, located at 123 University Place, will serve dinner from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Doors will open at 3 p.m. for cocktails in the College Room. The cost is $24.95 per adult and $12.95 for children under 12. For reservations, phone 412-648-8213 by April 15.
