This is our School ceremony, and as such, all candidates for graduation will walk across the stage beginning with the undergraduates and ending with our doctoral candidates (official hooding of May doctoral candidates occurs at the university commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 18 at the Bradley Center).

Please invite your parents, grandparents, guardians, spouses/significant others to this event. There are no tickets for this event, and you are not limited in the number of people who can attend. However, since there are a finite number of seats in the auditorium, we respectfully ask that you limit your guests to your immediate family.

All candidates for graduation should wear graduation apparel (cap and gown).

Please note that attendance at the School of Education recognition ceremony is not mandatory.  

Also note that attendance at this ceremony does NOT exempt you from the university commencement ceremony on Sunday.

If you are a candidate for May graduation and cannot attend the Sunday commencement ceremony, please exercise professional courtesy and contact your college office. For undergraduates, please contact either Interim Dean John Pustejovsky in the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences or Dr. Pauly in the William and Mary Diederich College of Communication. Graduate level candidates should call or email Erin Fox at the Graduate School. Doctoral candidates should be sure to notify their dissertation chairs if they do not plan to attend.
