Information for Fall 2022 Commencement Coordinators

Hello!

We hope everyone's semester is off to a great start and we look forward to seeing you at the fall commencement kick-off meeting later this month. Meeting details are included below.

In addition to our commencement coordinator meetings, we'll use this newsletter to keep you all informed of upcoming deadlines and other information related to commencement.

We’ll plan to continue our regular communications with your students as we have done in the past, but we hope that you will also share relevant information with the students, faculty, and staff in your college to help support our messaging.

We look forward to working with you all this fall.
