No limit of guests, and no tickets required
The ceremony will last 3 to 3-1/2 hours
Support Your Fellow Greener Grads - Go the Distance — Important!
With all the festivities, and 1000 or more graduates to recognize, commencement will last about 3 hours. Please let your guests know to expect that and plan accordingly. In addition, because the last person recognized deserves the same support, respect and celebration as the first, we ask that you please return to your seat after you've crossed the stage. Your presence is part of the graduation experience for those that follow. Your fellow graduates, and their families and friends, will appreciate your thoughtfulness.
In an effort to reduce waste and support the Think Outside the Bottle campaign, we encourage you to bring your own refillable water bottle or purchase a reusable container at the Greener Bookstore. We will provide water stations surrounding Red Square to refill your containers.
