February 9, 2022

Dear Graduates and Families:

One of the most anticipated events in the lives of our students and families is Commencement – a time to gather in celebration, acknowledging the truly momentous achievement that is represented by the completion of a student’s degree. We are pleased to announce our plans to culminate the 2021-2022 Academic Year with the Class of 2022 Commencement!

SCHEDULE
Saturday, May 7 (McCarthey Athletic Center and live-streamed)

Sunday, May 8 (Spokane Veterans Memorial Arena and live-streamed)

TICKETS
The Undergraduate Commencement ceremony will be ticketed with each student allotted 6 (six) guest tickets. Students will receive instructions with a link to the ticketing system on April 8.

There are no guest limits and no ticket requirements for the Law and Graduate Commencement ceremonies.

IN-PERSON EVENTS

We are pleased to be able to continue hosting in-person events and, at this point in time, plan on holding fully in-person Ceremonies. To create the safest environments possible for all participants and attendees, all those present at the Commencement ceremonies will be required to show proof of full vaccination or evidence of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours. All other CDC and state and local public health guidelines, including mask wearing, will also be required. Should any plans change, we will be sure to let you know as soon as possible. Additionally, each ceremony, as well as Commencement Mass, will be streamed live via the web and will be recorded for future viewing.

We thank you for your patience as we continue to create plans worthy of all our graduating students have accomplished, and we look forward to celebrating this tremendous achievement.

Please visit the Commencement website for additional information about Commencement 2022.

Sincerely yours,

Thayne M. McCulloh, D.Phil.
President
