Approximately 475 students will receive their diplomas this spring in graduate and undergraduate studies.

English professor Kristi Niss will be honored during the ceremony as the institution’s 2017 Teaching Excellence Award winner.
Those attending are invited to a catered reception on the Campus Quad immediately following graduation. The reception will be in the Student Center if it rains.
