This is an opportunity to honor the ways faith and spirituality have been a part of our graduates’ learning and growth at Puget Sound. This celebration is led by graduates from diverse backgrounds with support from University Chaplain Rev. Dave Wright ‘96. All graduates and families are welcome to participate in the program in ways appropriate for their own spiritual and religious identities.

Put on your cap and gown and meet your classmates in Karlen Quadrangle to assemble for the procession to Baker Stadium. Please plan to take any personal photographs prior to the lineup—this will be a busy time, and we need your full attention to start your last student walk across campus on the right foot.

The stadium opens for seating at noon. The ceremony will end at approximately 4:30 p.m.

Enjoy refreshments on campus immediately following the Commencement Ceremony. The reception will be located on the east side of Weyerhaeuser Hall in an outdoor tent.
