As we count down to the Class of 2023-2024 graduation on Saturday, 5月4日, we are providing you with some information on what you can expect. 第一个, we want to congratulate all graduating students and extend our heartfelt appreciation to them for entrusting PBA with their academic journey.
The spring graduation, which will be hosted at the Rubin Arena, promises to be an unforgettable experience filled with exciting elements to create cherished memories for each graduate. The Rubin Arena is set to undergo a spectacular transformation, adorned with regal decorations and all the traditional pomp and circumstance. Each graduating student will be allotted five tickets for 家庭 and friends to join the celebration.
As there will be two ceremonies for the graduating class at 10 a.m. 和2p.m. (see the details of the schedule below) and to ensure students can celebrate with their friends at PBA, the university will host an open house at the Warren Library. This unique event will feature photo booths and backdrops, providing the perfect opportunity for graduates to capture memorable moments with friends, 家庭, and even Sailfish Jack! Additionally, it offers a relaxed setting for graduates to introduce their 家庭 members to their friends and professors. The library will be open from 9 a.m. 到5点.m. to allow for interaction with graduates in both ceremonies.
We eagerly anticipate the Class of 2023-2024 coming together to connect, share stories, and symbolically embark on the next chapter of their academic journey at the very campus where it all began. Attached is a photoshopped rendering of what the Rubin Arena would look like based on the recent American Free Enterprise Day showcasing the arena’s makeover and the exciting experience that awaits you and your peers.
We look forward to celebrating this momentous occasion with every one of you!
