Things to Keep in Mind
The arena is very crowded after Commencement, and it can be
difficult for graduates, family members and friends to find each
other. Before the ceremony begins, please decide where you will
meet your family and friends afterward.
If you are making dinner reservations, please remember that
the ceremony lasts approximately two hours and 45 minutes. In
addition, it can take more time than expected for graduates, family
members and friends to reunite and exit the parking lot.
The Spokane Arena does not allow balloons inside their facilities. Please do not bring balloons to the undergraduate commencement ceremony.
