Mechanical Engineering Recognition Ceremony
Date: Saturday, May 13, 2023
Time: Ceremony starts at 2:00 p.m., Grads check-in by 1:15 p.m.
Location: CU Events Center
This is what you might normally think of as a traditional graduation ceremony, with each graduate recognized invidually. If a relative cannot attend but wishes to watch, they can watch this livestream. Guests in need of accessible parking and seating should park along Regent Drive in front of the Event Center, and enter through the double glass doors at street level. From there they will be directed to the accessible seating. There will be a reception after the ceremony on the Business Lawn. Tickets are not required for either ceremony and there is no limit on number of guests.
Questions can be directed to Elizabeth Deacon.
