Two commencements will take place that day, one beginning at 10:00 a.m. and a second one beginning at 4:00 p.m. We are expecting extremely heavy traffic between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m coming onto campus and then from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. exiting campus. For the second commencement expect heavy traffic between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. coming onto campus and then from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. exiting campus. Please avoid travelling to and from campus during these hours and/or use alternative entrances and exits to campus (see below).
