WSU Spokane’s Commencement Ceremony will occur on Friday, May 10, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. at the Spokane Arena.
Faculty and staff are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony to collectively celebrate the graduates from the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine, as well as the Colleges of Nursing, Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, and Education.
Faculty Processional & Platform Party
This year, faculty, along with the platform party, will lead all graduates into the commencement ceremony. Faculty will be seated in front of the stage and students in a special designated area to make seeing and engaging with the graduates accessible and easy.
The Platform Party will consist of senior leadership and those supporting the hooding of graduates. Members of the platform party will be notified separately and do not need to register for the faculty processional. The deadline to register for the processional passed.
