Undergraduate, graduate and doctoral degree diplomas will be conferred during the 51ÊÓƵ at Lafayette’s Summer 2015 Commencement ceremony.
The ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. in the Convention Center adjacent to the Cajundome, in Exhibit Hall B on the first floor.
All graduates are required to attend the ceremony and participate in full regalia.
In 2014, the University held its first summer ceremony since 1949. Summer Commencement was reintroduced to give graduating seniors an opportunity to participate in a ceremony without having to wait until the fall semester.
Commencement ceremonies are now held three times each year, in the fall, in the spring and in the summer.
The summer ceremony is much smaller than those that are held in the fall and in the spring. At Summer 2014 Commencement, 162 degrees were conferred. During Spring 2015 Commencement ceremonies, by comparison, 1,641 degrees were conferred.
The Summer 2015 Commencement speaker will be Dr. Chan Kiat Lim, an associate professor of music at UL Lafayette.
Lim received the UL Lafayette Foundation's Distinguished Professor Award, and the Margaret Chauvin Steen Villemez Professorship in Music.
He is also an accomplished recitalist who has performed solos in Italy, Romania, Asia, Greece, and throughout the United States.
