Arrive/Check-in.  Once checked-in, graduates will be directed to sit in the reserved seating area in the ballroom. 

1:30 - 2:00


Celebration will begin promptly at 1:30pm.  Plan to arrive at 1:15pm.

At 1:30, the celebration will open with a processional of our graduating seniors.

We will begin with speeches followed by the announcement of the graduate names which will take 4-7 minutes depending on how many students participate.

Graduating seniors will speak their name into a microphone before stepping up to shake hands with faculty and having their picture taken by a professional photographer.  

See diagram below.

2:00 - 2:30

Join us afterwards for some coffee and desserts while meeting with friends and faculty, and to take photos.

The above RSVP link is only for the ACMS Graduation Celebration. It is different than the registration/order form for the University of Washington Commencement on June 8 (open May 1 - 19).  If you registered for that event, you still need to RSVP for the ACMS Program Graduation Celebration.

We look forward to seeing you and congratulations on completing your undergraduate degree.
