UNL will combine its graduate and undergraduate commencement ceremonies in August, officials said this week.
The ceremony, which is set for Aug. 16 at Pinnacle Bank Arena, will begin at 9 a.m. In recent years, the university has hosted separate graduate and undergraduate ceremonies, with graduate degrees conferred on Fridays and baccalaureate degrees delivered on Saturdays, and will return to that pattern for December and May commencements.
“Our graduate numbers for August are adaptable to this plan, and we still plan to hood Ph.D. candidates,” said Annette Wetzel, the university’s director of special events.
An email will be sent out asking for RSVP and instructions for participation in the next several weeks, Wetzel said. More information on the combined ceremony also will appear later this summer at http://commencement.unl.edu.
