Over the course of the next week, 5,124 Ducks will be eligible to walk across a commencement stage to receive their diplomas.

Duck grads will convene on Matthew Knight Arena at 9:30 a.m. Monday for the University Commencement Ceremony to celebrate the entire Class of 2017. Keynote speaker Greg Bell will give the main address; ASUO President Quinn Haaga, master’s degree recipient Kena Gomalo and bachelor’s degree recipient Emily McAlindin will deliver student remarks and reflections.

Following the University Commencement Ceremony, the Erb Memorial Union will host GradFest, an open party for all graduating Ducks and their families.
