However, a live stream of the ceremony will be available inside McDonough Sports Complex field house. Seating is limited and will be allotted on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are not required for access to the field house. Doors open at 7:30 a.m.
- Reception: The post-commencement celebration for graduates and guests will take place in the Conway Ice Rink, located in the McDonough Sports Complex.
