Get ready to celebrate! Saturday, Dec. 5, 11 a.m.
December Virtual Commencement
We are excited to celebrate your many accomplishments on Dec. 5 through UT’s virtual commencement ceremony. While we recognize this is not the ceremony you and your family envisioned attending when you began your collegiate journey, this ceremony is one of many ways that UT will be celebrating you over the next year. Leading up to the ceremony, you and your family will have the opportunity to submit photos and videos of how you are celebrating this momentous accomplishment.
We look forward to ‘seeing’ you on Dec. 5 as we come together as one community, proving that no matter where we are at remembering that we are always everywhere…Spartan strong!
