Re: Preparing for Commencement
Commencement is just around the corner! We are looking forward to celebrating the achievements of all graduating bachelor's, master's, and doctoral candidates on Friday, June 13. To help plan and prepare for the big day, here are some important reminders:
Ceremony Details
Caltech's Commencement ceremony will take place on Friday, June 13, at 10 a.m. on Beckman Mall. No tickets are required; guest seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. More information for guests can be found on the Commencement website.
Register for Commencement Events by May 22
Graduating students and their guests are invited to participate in Commencement events prior to and following the graduation ceremony. Graduate students and guests can join the Graduate Studies Celebration Luncheon; undergraduate seniors and guests are invited to the Senior Graduation Banquet. In addition, the President's Garden Reception and Post-Commencement Luncheon are open to all graduating students and their guests. Make sure to register for these events by May 22.
Regalia Pickup on June 4
Students who have ordered regalia can pick it up outside of the Caltech Store on June 4. Caltech's Office of Career Achievement, Leadership, and Exploration (CALE) will be on hand to distribute regalia and learn about your post-graduation plans. Snacks, photo opportunities, and a special gift will be provided to all graduates (including those who didn't order regalia).
