coe-staff: 2018 Commencement Ceremonies

[Lisa Fortin]

Hello,
Congratulations to those who are graduating!  The main UO Commencement Ceremony and the College of Education Commencement Ceremony will both be held on Monday, June 18, 2018.

COE Ceremony
Our COE ceremony, where you walk across the stage and have your name read, will take place in Matthew Knight Arena from 4 - 6 pm on June 18.  Because there is plenty of seating, no tickets are necessary and you can have as many family and friends attend as you wish.  However, we would like you to RSVP for the ceremony at https://education.uoregon.edu/dean-office/commencement That's also where you can find information on what happens during the ceremony, accessible seating information, and information on how to get your regalia.

University Commencement Ceremony
The university's official commencement ceremony happens at the conclusion of spring term each year. This year's ceremony is the morning of Monday, June 18, 2018. All students graduating fall, winter, spring or summer are invited to celebrate with their class and attend the 2018 spring ceremony. Visit https://commencement.uoregon.edu/  for full details, including information about the Duck Grad Parade.
