There will be a commencement ceremony at UW Green Bay later this week, but it will look much different than the traditional ceremony.
More than 650 UW-Green Bay students and their families will transcend on the campus on Saturday (May 15th) over an extended 12-hour timeframe.
Graduates from Fall/Winter 2020 and Spring/Summer 2021 and their families have pre-registered for time slots, where they will follow a special route through campus. That route includes a UW-Green Bay faculty, staff, and alumni cheering section; hear the Class of 2021 playlist; be publicly introduced on stage by name, degree and honors; receive their diploma and share an elbow bump with Chancellor Michael Alexander.
This is the University’s 103rd Commencement Ceremony since its first in June of 1970.
Graduates from all four UW-Green Bay Campuses (Green Bay, Marinette, Manitowoc and Sheboygan) are participating.
In Fall/Winter 2020, 483 students were eligible to graduate, and in Spring/Summer 2021, 1,134 students are eligible, or 1,617 in total.
