Thursday, May 11 2023, 9:30am Sanford Stadium Rev. 3/6/2023 - ...Thus, events to be held in Stegeman Coliseum, including Graduate Commencement, must be relocated. We had previously informed those participating in the Graduate Commencement ceremonies that two separate ceremonies would be held for the first time this spring because of the large number of graduates—one to confer master’s and specialist degrees, and the other to confer doctoral degrees. However, due to the closure of Stegeman, the ceremonies will now be held in a single, combined ceremony at Sanford Stadium on Thursday, May 11 at 9:30 a.m. The back-up time in the event of inclement weather will be Friday, May 12 at 9:30 a.m. in Sanford Stadium. More information will be provided to graduates via email and through the Commencement website. Spring 2023 Commencement --------------- TO: Faculty, Staff, and Students FROM: S.
