The College of Public Health Commencement will be at 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 13, 2023, at Hancher Auditorium. The doors will open one hour prior to the event for students and their guests to arrive. Students should arrive no later than 5:45 p.m., and guests by 6:15 p.m., to allow time to find a seat. The processional will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. 

Students: As you enter, you will be directed to the staging area. You may want to send personal items with your family members as we will not have a dressing room to keep the items. Staff will be on hand to help you line up alphabetically for the processional. Once lined up, you will be handed your name card to carry with you until you walk across the stage. 

Guests: As you enter Hancher Auditorium, there will be ushers to direct you to the auditorium. You will have the opportunity to choose your own seats. We will not reserve seats or ticket this event.
