The Commencement Office works to ensure that our graduates, their families, and our campus community enjoys a memorable ceremony and celebration that is student-centered and family oriented.
Honorary degree recipients include a nonprofit leader, a pioneer in nursing education and an alumnus leading refugee resettlement in Rhode Island.
