As some 20,000 guests are expected to attend this event, it is recommended that graduates and their guests read and be guided by the information on this Web site. This guide has been prepared in an effort to anticipate as many questions as possible. As Commencement approaches, graduates and their parents will receive additional and more specific information.
Commencement is a rite of completion.
The 1999 Commencement weekend is full of special events honoring the achievement of the graduates and expressing the pleasure, excitement, and pride of their families, their teachers, and their friends. In addition, May 21-23 is also Boston University's Alumni Reunion Weekend. Many of these events are open to graduates and their guests, and tickets for these events may be ordered directly from the Reunion Office.
