The Commencement ceremony for spring and summer graduates will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, May 5 in our outdoor Spratt Memorial Stadium. The ceremony should last approximately two hours. Following the ceremony, graduates and guests are invited to a reception in the tent near the parking lot of the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex, sponsored by the Missouri Western Alumni Association.
The march from the Griffon Indoor Sports Complex to the field will take approximately 15 minutes. Encourage your graduate to wear comfortable shoes. Additionally, please remind your graduate that they may not wear spiked-heeled shoes on the field. Only wedges or flat shoes will be allowed.
