Each Academic School is hosting its own ceremony. Many are followed by a reception. The Academic School ceremony is an opportunity for each program to celebrate as a companion group of peers, host a speaker related to their disciplines, and honor each graduate as that individual walks across the stage to receive congratulations from the platform party.
