Graduate Commencement

Special Person Designation

All graduates can designate a "special person" who has been instrumental in helping them achieve their higher education goals. This individual's name will be read along with the student's name as he or she walks across the stage at the Commencement ceremony. Students who chose to name a special person will do so when they apply online for their degree.

Please note that only pre-printed information will be read. Handwritten alterations to the special person line will not be read.
