Commencement Convocation will take place at 4 pm on May 10, 2000. This event for seniors is co-hosted by Chancellor Berdahl and the Senior Class Council. The University Medalist and other outstanding seniors will be honored, and the chancellor and other campus individuals and alumni will speak. Graduating seniors will receive information about Convocation in April.
