Family Seating
This year’s ceremony will take place under the traditional Commencement tent on Babcock Field. Each graduate will be able to reserve up to six adjoining seats in the Reserved 1 seating area closest to the stage. Graduates with more than six guests will be able to reserve up to six additional seats in the Reserved 2 seating area, directly behind the Reserved 1 section (a total of twelve seats per student). These reservations must be made no later than
Friday, May 10, by filling out our
Commencement Seating Request Form. From all received RSVP’s, seating assignments will be made via random drawing during the week of May 13.
For two-household families that require separate sets of seats, we will accommodate both sets in the reserved areas closer to the stage. Please specify this directly on your form.
We can also accommodate guests requesting wheelchair access with advanced notice, as specified on the form.
Additional seating will be available in the General area behind both sections. That additional seating will remain unassigned and can be claimed on a first-come, first-served basis on the afternoon of Commencement.
