Marian University will hold its December commencement ceremony on Friday, Dec. 10 at 6:00 p.m.

An audience-less ceremony will be held in the Howard L. Sadoff Gymnasium.  The number of students graduating is 132 – 84 bachelor’s, 46 master’s, and two doctoral.  Being held in a socially distanced fashion, the event will stream live on www.marianuniversity.edu.  Commencement guest speaker is Sean Jones, successful business owner, entrepreneur, and former defensive end with the Green Bay Packers.

In her letter to the graduating class, Majewski will recognize the challenges many faced asserting, “This commencement ceremony demonstrates the human spirit and its ability to adapt and respond to new challenges we all face in life.  Over the course of your university education, some of which was impacted by the pandemic, you grappled with many challenges, which revealed salient characteristics I know you will recognize within yourself, like perseverance, grit, resilience and fortitude; all of which served you well as a student and will continue to support you throughout your life.”

A pinning ceremony for nursing students and a teacher commissioning ceremony for education students will be held in advance of the commencement ceremony.
