Colorado State University leadership announced Tuesday the logistics and details of the move to a universitywide commencement ceremony, following CSU’s announcement to change the graduation format last spring.

An email sent out at 2:36 p.m. detailed the main changes, specifically the transition to a two-part system: There will now be a universitywide commencement along with a smaller recognition ceremony.

“University-wide Commencement will take place from 4:30-6 p.m. on Friday, May 16, 2025, at Canvas Stadium,” the email reads. “All student graduates and their guests are invited to University-wide Commencement. Graduates are guaranteed six guest tickets.”

The recognition ceremony website provides more details on these celebrations.

“Academic units host smaller recognition ceremonies where student names are read, graduates cross the stage and diploma covers are distributed,” reads the statement.

About the Contributor

Aubree Miller, News Editor

Aubree Miller is a news editor for The Rocky Mountain Collegian and could not be more thrilled to take on the role. Miller started as a reporter for the news; arts and entertainment; and life and culture desks in fall 2023 and has nurtured a love for news and keeping up with what is going on in the community, no matter how small or large the occasion. Going into their sophomore year, Miller is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in journalism along with two minors in women’s studies and ethnic studies. They are incredibly excited to keep the CSU and Fort Collins community up to date on news while keeping a focus on ethical and fair journalism and social justice, giving a voice to each and every person The Collegian interacts with. Miller is originally from rural northern Wisconsin and has lived in Aurora, Colorado, for the past eight years. Passions for reading, writing and music have flourished during their time at CSU thus far. That passion for writing translated into journalism, where writing is combined with being able to help others and to tell the stories that may not always be told. When not working at The Collegian, Miller can be found attempting to bring back '80s fashion trends, crocheting, listening to Taylor Swift and hanging out with their cat. Miller is immensely proud of their work with The Collegian thus far and is thrilled to continue learning and growing as an editor.
