2021 Graduates

Congratulations, Class of 2021! We're excited to announce in-person commencement ceremonies for Spring 2021 graduates on Saturday, May 8, in Stambaugh Stadium. With cases of COVID-19 on the decline and the rapid expansion of vaccinations, we are planning a safe graduation ceremony to mark your achievement in earning a degree from YSU. Family and friends are also invited. Tickets for guests are not required, however graduates were required to RSVP through an online form, which is now closed. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact commencement@ysu.edu.

9:00 AM:

Cliffe College of Creative Arts
College of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics
Williamson College of Business Administration

3:00 PM:

Beeghly College of Liberal Arts, Social Sciences and Education
Bitonte College of Health and Human Services

*Students receiving graduate degrees (i.e. master's and doctorates) from the College of Graduate Studies will participate with the college that holds their major.

Congratulations, Graduates! Celebrate with us on social media using #GuinsToGrads — we'll share our your posts as we continue to celebrate your success!
