Graduation

Your Personal Guide to Gateway’s Commencement Exercises, 7 p.m., May 17, 2012 at Northern Kentucky Convention Center

Oh, the places you’ll go!

You’ve done the work -- now celebrate! 

We’re proud of you, and you should be , too! Graduating from college -- with a certificate, diploma or degree -- is a BIG deal and is worth celebrating in a special way.

So we are inviting you to participate in Gateway’s annual commencement exercises at 7 p.m. May 17 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center in Covington. (Graduates must arrive by 6 p.m.)

What happens at commencement?
Graduates march into the room and find their seats. At the appropriate time, ushers will direct you across the stage, and you will receive a credential folder from Gateway President Dr. Ed Hughes. We’ll take your photo (and your family can take photos, too!)

After all graduates receive their folders, the class of 2012 marches out triumphantly!

What do you need to do to participate?

  • It’s simple. Use the navigation to the left to read information about graduation. This should answer most of your questions. If not, contact Sarah Young at 859-442-1639.
  • If you completed your credential during the Fall 2011 semester, you are still eligible to attend commencement exercises in May. So plan now to participate and bring your family and friends!
