Commencement exercises will be held on the College Green, rain or shine. Please bring raincoats and umbrellas if appropriate. In order to preserve the diplomas if it rains, or if rain is predicted, students will not receive their diplomas when they accept the congratulations of the President and Deans. Instead, they will pick up their diplomas at the following locations immediately following the ceremony:
In the case of dangerously high winds, lightning, or other severe weather, the ceremony will be delayed. Only in the highly unlikely event that such weather persists would the ceremony be canceled.
