Congratulations Graduates!
As an institution we understand the importance of calling the
names of each of our graduates, and inviting each of the graduates
to greet his or her Dean on stage so that the Dean may offer
congratulations on behalf of the University. The names of our
graduates will be read unless extreme weather necessitates
that we amend the ceremony.
Because graduate names will be called at the ceremony, the
graduate recognition photo presentation will not be shown
on the mega screens. Therefore, please note that the
recognition photo sessions scheduled for Monday, March 28 and
Tuesday, March 29 will no longer take place.
Great care has been taken to be sure that the ceremony is
completed as quickly and smoothly as possible. The Queens
Commencement Ceremony will begin at 11 a.m. and we anticipate
that the ceremony will run approximately 2 1/2 hours.
Students must arrive to their assembly areas by 9:30 a.m. in order
to begin the procession at 10:15 a.m. Please understand that
graduates are asked to show respect for all of their classmates and
are requestsed to stay in place until the student recessional has
been completed.
To participate in the upcoming Queens Commencement
Exercises please review and complete the following:
