Countdown to Commencement: Parking, Weather, and Seating Updates
It's the final countdown to Commencement! Nearly 850 students will walk across the stage Saturday, May, 20, on the Forest Grove Campus earning undergraduate and graduate degrees from Pacific University.
Parking Lots L and M will be closed starting the end of day Friday, May 19, through the end of day Saturday, May 20. Please plan accordingly. We apologize in advance for the inconvenience.
The undergraduate ceremony begins at 9 a.m. and the graduate and professional ceremony begins at 1:30 p.m. Gates open one hour before each ceremony.
Golf cart and bus shuttles will be available to transport guests around the campus who need assistance.
Plan ahead for Saturday's warm temperatures. While bleacher seating at Hanson Stadium is covered, field-level searing is uncovered. Consider bringing a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a water bottle as the forecast calls for a high of around 79 degrees.
Guests may sit inside the gym in the adjacent Stoller Center to watch a live broadcast of the ceremonies. You also can share the pacificu.edu/commencement link with out of town friends and relatives.
