2026 First-Generation Graduating Senior Cording Ceremony

Congratulations on being among the first in your family to graduate from a four year college! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!

Every first-gen graduate has the opportunity to receive a special cord celebrating their achievement. Since you've been approved to graduate, we need to know your plans!

The cording ceremony will occur on Wednesday April 29 from 6:30-7:30pm in Veteran's Hall, Ellison Campus Center.

Unfortunately, due to the high number of graduates who are first-gen, we are not able to accommodate guests. We are working on setting up a remote viewing through Zoom for your family and friends...
