the Spring 2021 Commencement exercises the weekend of May 7-9 are a new milestone in the life of the university as well
as its many new graduates. A total of 1,940 undergraduate and graduate students who
are completing their degrees this spring or by this summer are eligible to participate
in ceremonies that take place in the Multipurpose Building.
