Receptions
Pre-Commencement Ceremonies
Post-Commencement Ceremonies
Many colleges (or departments and programs within a college) hold receptions or ceremonies for graduates and their guests either before or following Commencement. Some events are by invitation only. Graduates attending receptions held after Commencement may want to meet family members there after the ceremony to reconnect and relax before facing traffic out of the area.
Pre- and post-Commencement receptions will be listed here as they become available. The receptions after the main ceremony will also be listed in the Commencement Program that is given to guests as they enter Cox Stadium and to graduates as they lineup or as they begin to march. Please note that they are subject to change. Check here for any up-to-Commencement-Day changes or, better yet, confirm with the department arranging the event in question.
