Commencement week is here, and we’re looking forward to celebrating with the Class of 2026. With two upcoming outdoor events, we have been monitoring the weather, and we have some updates for Friday and Saturday.

Rain is in the forecast, and all graduation ceremonies (Convocations and Commencement) are rain or shine events. At this time, the National Weather Service isn’t predicting severe weather, so Friday’s Lerner College Undergraduate Convocation and Saturday’s main Commencement ceremony will go on as planned. We encourage all to dress for the weather.
