Graduates, friends and family are encouraged to share photos and personal messages the morning of the celebration between 10 a.m. and noon. The December ceremony will include remarks from Dean Susan Gooden, 66th Governor and Distinguished Faculty Professor L. Douglas Wilder in addition to our two student speakers -- Kearra Bright and Teresa Dobson-Brown. Make sure to tune in to hear the reading of the names of all of our exceptional Wilder School graduates!

On Saturday, Dec. 12, Virginia Commonwealth University will honor the achievements of our August and December graduates with a virtual commencement celebration. Beginning at 10 a.m., the virtual celebration will include the ceremony broadcast with an interactive online experience for graduates and their families and a copy of your commencement program. 

May 2020 graduates originally invited to participate in December ceremonies will be invited to join their classmates at a future university commencement ceremony. All 2020 graduates will be contacted with more information.
