Graduation Information

We are excited to share that our Spring Commencement ceremonies have a new home in 2026: The Strand Center for the Arts Theatre.
 
This historic venue on Brinkerhoff Street was fully restored about a decade ago and has become a community fixture for high profile events and performances. This May, we will host both the spring graduation ceremony and the nursing capping and pinning event at the center.
