From CSD:

  • Ceremony starts at 7:00 PM on Niedermeyer Field (please try to have everyone seated just before 7PM).  The graduation committee hopes to have everything finished by 8:45 PM.
  • Our seating area is on the north end of the field in a special area roped off for the 50-year grads.
  • Ushers will be available to show/escort you to the seating area.
  • From 6th Street, enter the first gate on the right to the field (north end) and receive a program. Names of the 50 year class will be listed in the program so be sure to take one. 
  • Class of '76 names will be announced after the speeches and prior to the 2026 graduates, which should take 1 hour (anticipate around 8PM).  Class of '76 graduates should stand (or raise hand) when their name is called, and a diploma will be brought over to them (if not shared before the start of the program). 50-year grads are dismissed after all names are called. Typically, an after party is held at another location. 😉
  • It is often damp and chilly at night on the field. Dress accordingly!
