Graduates of the College of Business Administration, College of Nursing and Allied Health and University College will receive their degrees beginning at 10 a.m.
At 2 p.m., degrees will be awarded to graduates of the College of Arts and Sciences, College of Education and John Folse Culinary Institute.
