Fall 2021 Commencement faculty details

Many faculty members participate regularly in UGA’s Commencement ceremonies to join graduates in celebrating this momentous time in their lives. Due to pandemic precautions, the Fall Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony on Friday, Dec. 17 at 10 a.m. in Sanford Stadium will not have a formal processional.

However, faculty are welcome, if they choose, to attend Commencement and sit in the general guest seating areas. A number of faculty celebrated with students in this fashion last year and their presence was appreciated by graduates.

Additionally, some faculty may be invited by their doctoral students to participate in the hooding ceremony during the Graduate Commencement Ceremony at 2:30 p.m. in Sanford Stadium. That invitation will be extended by individual students at their discretion. There will be no formal processional. Again, all faculty members are welcome to attend Commencement and sit in the general guest seating areas.

Thank you for your interest and support in celebrating our graduates, and UGA looks forward to a time when we can resume all of our regular Commencement traditions.
