May 2009 Commencement

Agriculture & Natural Resources


We are continuing the recent tradition with the May 2009 Commencement that each College and School will host their own, more personal ceremony.          

Undergraduate students who will be graduating in May or August 2009 from the Ratcliffe Hicks School of Agriculture and the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources will be recognized for completion of their degree requirements on Saturday, May 9th, beginning at 6:00 pm in Gampel Pavilion. 

Candidates for the ceremony will report to the Field House by 5:00 pm; Gampel will open its doors to family and friends at 5:00 pm as well.

Prior to the ceremony, we will hold a reception in the Wilbur Cross North and South Reading Rooms from 3:00-5:00 pm. Students and their families are invited to participate in this festive event and to meet with faculty and staff members. Please complete the Commencement Reception response sheet and return it to the Office of Academic Programs (Young Bldg., Room 211) by Friday, May 1st. The response sheet is included in the "Instructions for Graduation Candidates" link below. Also, a hard copy of the response sheet will be mailed to your family in March along with a business reply envelope if you prefer to mail the response sheet back.

Important information and instructions for both graduation candidates and their families/friends can be found below:
