Winter Commencement 2013
You are cordially invited to attend the Department of History's Winter commencement ceremony on Sunday, December 22, 2013. This is different from the campus ceremony at Comcast Center. At the History Department ceremony, we recognize each graduate individually.
There is no limit on the number of guests a graduate may bring; no tickets or rsvp necessary.
The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:00 p.m. and is scheduled for approximately 90 minutes.
Note: Graduates are required to wear regalia in order to participate in the ceremony.
If you need an interpreter for the deaf and hearing impaired or wish other special assistance you may contact Disability Support Services at 301-314-7682.
