The Spring Commencement Ceremony for approximately 500 graduates of 大象传媒 will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 6 on Craig Field at Spratt Memorial Stadium. Stadium gates will open to guests at 9:30 a.m. The 大象传媒 Alumni Association will hold a reception for graduates and their families following the ceremony in the home concourse area of the stadium.<\/p>\n
Connor Samenus, business major from Kansas City, 大象传媒, will give the student commencement address, \u201cWhat It Means to be a Griffon.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the event of inclement weather, the commencement ceremony will be held inside the Looney Complex arena at 2 p.m. Saturday. Because of limited seating in the arena, tickets have been issued to graduates for the indoor ceremony.<\/p>\n
Seating will be available in Potter Hall to accommodate guests who prefer not to sit outside if the ceremony is held in Spratt Stadium, or who are unable to be seated in Looney if weather forces the ceremony indoors.<\/p>\n

Many of the commencement-related activities will also be streamed live online. Below are links to the live webcasts:<\/p>\n
