Commencement Luncheon
A luncheon immediately follows the ceremony in Proctor, Ross, and Atwater Dining Halls.
We ask that graduates and guests get their lunches in the dining hall closest to the graduate’s residence hall.
Please be mindful that seating will be very limited in dining halls.
Because of limited seating in dining halls, we encourage you, as you are able, to take your food to go and use lounge spaces in residence halls for your meal, or to use one of these rooms: Coltrane Lounge, Gifford Lecture Hall classroom, the Grille (Note: the Grille will not be serving food), Wilson Hall at McCullough, Ross 011, LaForce 121 seminar room, or Le Chateau Grand Salon.
Graduate Departure
Graduates are required to vacate their dormitory rooms no later than 6:00 p.m. on Sunday. This deadline must be enforced so that rooms may be prepared for Reunion.
