Class of 2022 Commencement Exercises

Planning is underway to celebrate the Class of 2022 with Commencement Exercises on Saturday, May 14, 2022. We will make announcements in as timely a manner as possible. We appreciate your understanding as we work to ensure the health and safety of our students and their family members, as well as the campus community.

We are planning for traditional Commencement Exercises to take place in Commencement Hollow, beginning at 11 a.m. Access to Commencement Hollow will be restricted until 9 a.m. All guests must be seated by 10:30 a.m.

Cap/Gowns: Wittenberg will host a Countdown to Commencement event on Monday, March 21, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Geil Lounge on the lower level of the Benham-Pence Student Center. During this event, graduates will have the opportunity to place orders for caps and gowns, announcements, diplomas frames, and other Commencement-related items. Details coming soon!

The deadline for online ordering of caps and gowns for the 2022 Commencement Exercises will be April 11. For assistance, contact Amy Garner at daltona@wittenberg.edu for more information.

Photography: Each year, the University partners with GradImages, a leader in Commencement photography, to take photos for purchase of graduates receiving their diplomas. More information on this service will be forthcoming.

If you have questions, contact Brandee Bates Kern, Director of Donor Experience and Stewardship in the Office of University Advancement, at bbates@wittenberg.edu or (937) 327-6405.
