Commencement

Our commencement ceremonies will honor the mission and traditions of Canisius, and of course, appropriately celebrate the outstanding accomplishments of our graduates and honorees.  The ceremonies will include the commencement student speaker address, the conferral of honorary degrees and awards, formal degree conferral, and most importantly our graduates will cross the commencement stage in the company of their classmates to receive their degree.
