The Graduation Fair provides graduating students the opportunity to meet with a variety of offices on campus in one centralized location to make the graduation process more convenient. Students that will be graduating at the end of the term are encouraged to attend in order to be prepared for graduation and commencement.
The Graduation Fair is highly encouraged for students that plan to graduate but it is not required.
For Spring, the Graduation Fair will be held Wednesday, March 22nd from 9am to 4pm in the Maucker Union Ballrooms.
**There will be a Graduation Fair held this fall for Fall 2023 graduates.**
