Commencement Weather Updates & Planning
May 7, 2026
Based on the weather forecast, there is a chance of rain during Saturday's Commencement Ceremony, which will take place on Sodexo Field.
Graduates, faculty, and staff will remain on the field, and we expect that most guests will choose to remain at the Commencement site as well. It’s advisable to bring rain gear.
However, we have expanded sites on campus where guests, if they choose to do so, can watch the event via livestream in an indoor setting with limited seating. Guests can watch the ceremony via livestream in Spagnuolo Hall and in various classrooms in Petrocelli Hall. If needed, guests can also go to the Fieldhouse. Of course, the livestream can be captured on your phone from any other location.
Signage will direct guests to viewing locations, and a campus/viewing location map is posted on our Commencement webpage and the map is available to view here.
Additional details will be communicated as needed on our website and social media channels.
