Audience Note: The Class of 2025 requests that you join them in sharing a dignified, respectful and orderly commencement. As diplomas are presented, we ask the audience to hold all applause until we have called each name. Families and friends are encouraged to silently stand in recognition of their graduate. This silent recognition will allow every family to hear their graduates name called. Thank you.
