We know that family and friends are important to our students. Traditionally, we do not cap the number of guests a student can bring, but with the move to the new location, we have an initial maximum of 6 tickets per graduate. Tickets will be available for pickup at Tykeson Hall from May 23 through May 27. However, please be prepared with further announcements for additional tickets in late spring 2022 should they be available. Gates open at 8:30 a.m. for the event.
