有用的周末小贴士

学士学位 is a Centre tradition dating back to the College’s Presbyterian he丽塔ge. Now drawing from the wider diversity of traditions that characterize the Centre community, the ceremony of reflection and challenge inspires graduates spiritually on their journey forward. 这个仪式将在星期六举行, 5月18日, 2024年下午4点在纽林大厅举行, 诺顿艺术bwin体育.

The 荣誉行走仪式 was born in 2003 with Centre's 20th President, John A. Roush. Each year on the eve of Commencement the senior class gathers at Old Centre to honor those who had the most profound impact on their Centre Experience.

如果你的学长参加了荣誉行走, make sure they are seated no later than 6:45 PM in front of Old Centre. Seniors and honorees will sit together on the Walnut Street (left) side of Old Centre. Other guests should sit on the Main Street (right) side. The first row has reserved seating for guests needing special assistance. Seating at this ceremony is first come, first serve.

Kentucky weather in May is typically sunny, very hot, and humid. Please plan accordingly by checking the most recent weather forecast. Most guests wear dressy casual attire throughout the weekend. It is important to be comfortable, wear comfortable shoes, and bring a hat and umbrella! Guest seating for the 荣誉行走仪式 and weekend meals takes place outside.

Seating inside Newlin Hall is limited to up to 4 tickets per Senior. Guests who do not have tickets inside Newlin Hall for the Commencement Ceremony are invited to join us in Weisiger Theater to view the simulcast. Remember, anyone can view the 学士学位 and Commencement ceremonies from a mobile device. Please direct your family and friends to this page to watch the live-stream!
