Graduation for the Class of 2026 on Wednesday, May 27th, 6:00 pm

Location: Altria Theater, 6 N. Laurel Street


The exterior doors to the building will be open to families and friends between 5-5:30.  The doors to the theater seats will not be opened until 5:30 pm.  All guests must produce a ticket and go through bag check and a metal detector before entering.  For organizational reasons, the area used for line-up is off-limits to parents, relatives, and friends until after the ceremony; we appreciate your understanding.   Accessibility seating is available on both floors of the theater, and ushers will be available in the lobby to assist families.

Cap, gown, and tassel are the most required items for the day, but students are asked to dress appropriately: dark dress pants, collared shirts with ties, skirts, or dresses.

Guests are permitted to bring flowers into the theater, but please do not bring balloons or noisemakers. Information about parking can be found here.
