Each term, we host recognition ceremonies to honor those graduating from both our undergraduate and graduate degree programs. These ceremonies includes a speech to graduates, an address from degree program representatives, and a reading of each graduate’s name.
Please note: This ceremony is separate from the annual University Commencement, scheduled for Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2024, beginning at 3 p.m. at the Petersen Events Center.
Guests
All students are welcome to bring guests to the Recognition Ceremony. International students who would like to invite their family to attend should review these instructions provided by the Office of International Services.
Upcoming School Recognition Ceremony
Both School-wide ceremonies and departmental celebrations are listed below.
The School-wide ceremonies are the formal ceremonies for SCI, where graduates will be called to the stage and receive a scroll representing their diploma as well as a gift.
Departmental celebrations are also indicated below, and those are more informal, offering students from that particular department a chance to talk with graduates of their degree programs, faculty and staff specifically in their areas of study, acknowledge accomplishments and awards, etc.
