SEEKING A COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER
University College provides a special opportunity to our BAS and BLS graduates. Speaking at our Virtual Commencement Ceremony not only provides a memorable experience but it allows our students to share their journey... their story... their accomplishments! As an advising team, we feel that it is important to highlight the incredible work of our students. Please consider sharing your path to graduation at the Virtual Commencement Ceremony.
