Summer Commencement

The summer semester is winding down on campus and that can only mean one thing--summer commencement is quickly approaching.  This summer, commencement is being held on Friday, August 1 at 9:30 a.m. at Stegeman Coliseum.  The 2014 summer commencement is a combined Graduate and Undergraduate event. Doors open at 8 a.m.  For those unable to attend,the ceremony will be broadcast live on Channel 15 of the University Cable System and Channel 181 of the Charter Cable System.  It will also be streamed live here.

Francis "Abit" Massey, a 1949 graduate of the University of Georgia and president emeritus of the Georgia Poultry Federation, will deliver the summer Commencement address at the ceremony. Massey led the Georgia Poultry Federation for 48 years, and in 2009 was named president emeritus.
