Commencement

December 2021 Graduation

Commencement is the single most important event at Duquesne University, not only for our students, but for the campus at large. It is a time to celebrate your accomplishments and to revel in the camaraderie of your fellow classmates. It is also a very special time for family and friends, as they look forward to this opportunity to show their pride and celebrate you.

This web page will be the source of information related to Winter Commencement to be held on Friday, December 17, 2021 (provided there are no COVID-related/CDC restrictions) and will be updated as details become available. Graduates should be certain to return to this page within the coming weeks for additional information.  There will be an opportunity for graduates to RSVP for themselves and their guests.
