The 2021 Commencement Ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. EDT on Saturday, May 15 at Clipper Stadium.

Commencement is the culmination of your undergraduate experience, and after a senior year like no other, you deserve to celebrate your achievements surrounded by your classmates and all those who have supported you on your journey.

On Saturday, May 15, 2021, commencement will take place outdoors at Clipper Stadium, near campus; the program will include a combination of live and virtual components. The event will also be livestreamed and recorded, so we can include the entire Class of 2021 (in-person and remote), their families and friends, and the F&M community in the celebration.
