Commencement 2010
Marylhurst's 2010 Commencement Ceremony will be held in the Portland Ballroom of the Oregon Convention Center. Located in a private corner of the center, the space is small enough to maintain an intimate environment while still offering enough seating for as many guests as you choose to invite. The convenient location offers ample on-site parking and easy access to MAX and bus lines.
RSVP for Commencement
Graduates from the previous fall and winter and students who have applied to graduate in spring or summer are eligible and invited to participate.
Note: Students graduating from programs requiring a clinical internship are eligible to walk if they have completed all coursework and have secured an internship agreement by the end of spring term.
The ceremony honors the achievement of students who have completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree program: no formal ceremony is offered for students completing certificates.
Please RSVP by June 1 to help us with our planning. We need to know which events you’ll be attending and how many guests you will bring.
