Today's warm weather reminds us that Spring 2024 graduation is only 6 weeks away. Please review the message below from our student services team here in Career and Academic Services. We need to start gathering graduation RSVPs from faculty who will be attending.
The earlier we know your intentions, the better we can plan.</div>
