Our Military Connected Graduation Recognition Ceremony offers students the opportunity to be honored in a smaller, more personalized setting. For a variety of personal or health-related reasons, attending large ceremonies can be difficult or overwhelming. These smaller recognition events ensure that every student has a meaningful and accessible way to celebrate their achievement.
These recognition events provide a meaningful and personalized experience, allowing graduating veterans to reflect on and share their journeys from military service to academic success. The ceremonies celebrate their resilience, leadership, and perseverance while fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.
The Graduation Recognition Program is held at the conclusion of each long academic term, ensuring that every eligible graduate is honored in a timely and distinguished manner.
Family, Friends, Campus and Community Partners are welcome to attend this event. We encourage everyone to arrive at least 30 minutes before the event to park in the designated parking.
