Texas A&M To Honour 11,900 Degrees At May Commencements
Texas A&M University will award approximately 11,900 degrees to spring graduates at 17 ceremonies, with eight graduations on the main campus and nine ceremonies at other locations or professional schools. Graduations will be held for undergraduate, master’s and doctoral students.
“We are excited to send this class of Aggie graduates out into the world to rise and meet their next challenge,” said Dr. Alan Sams, interim provost and vice president for academic affairs. “They have persisted through the rigors and challenges of earning their degree from a truly world-class university with the support of our faculty and staff. We congratulate them, their families and their friends.”
Graduates will have their names called and walk the stage, then return to their seats. Diplomas will be mailed after the ceremony. Diploma tubes will be provided at the ceremonies for photographs.
School officials note commencements are a celebration of each student’s accomplishments, and every effort is made to ensure safety, security and decorum of a public event befitting their success. Guests are encouraged to refrain from disruptive behaviors, which may negatively impact this special moment for students and their families. Clear bags are required at all commencement ceremonies at Reed Arena.
The eight main-campus ceremonies will be televised live by KAMU-TV and livestreamed via the KAMU website at kamu.tamu.edu.
