Graduates

Dear Graduate:

Congratulations on the completion of your degree program at Arizona State University. You deserve to be very proud of this significant academic achievement.

I invite you, your family and friends to celebrate your accomplishment at the Fall 2009 University Commencement Ceremony to be held at 9 a.m., Thursday, December 17, 2009 at Wells Fargo Arena, and to attend the college and/or special convocation ceremonies.

Commencement is a special celebration, with tradition and symbolism that date back centuries in the history of higher education. This is the occasion when your degree will be officially conferred upon you. Students, faculty and staff from all colleges and all four ASU campuses participate in University Commencement. Please plan to join the Arizona State University community on this extraordinary day.

You will find the information you need to prepare for graduation on the following pages. If you have questions regarding commencement or other graduation activities, please contact the Office of University Ceremonies. Again, congratulations.

Michael M. Crow
President, ASU
