Department of Chemistry Graduation Ceremony

While we can't be together at the Lyric Theatre this year, we hope you will join us for our virtual graduation ceremony at 9:00am EDT on Saturday, May 16th. Same date and time as usual, just a different place.

Join us as Department Chair Alan Esker welcomes graduates, families, friends, faculty and staff to our online event. Opening remarks will be followed by an inspiring message from Professor Joe Merola. As per usual, Undergraduate Program Director Patricia Amateis will read the names of our graduating seniors, and Graduate Program Director Professor John Morris will read the names of our graduating graduate students. 

The ceremony will premiere live via Facebook and Youtube.

We encourage you to spread the word to your families and friends and host watch parties together to celebrate this incredible achievement. 

Lastly, the College of Science has created a kudos board to leave congratulatory notes for our outstanding graduates.

Give kudos to our graduates
