Viterbo's 2024 spring commencement events will include two celebrations of our graduates, events begun in spring 2022 intended to become time-honored traditions.
Senior Soirée with the President: Viterbo President Rick Trietley is inviting all undergraduate candidates for graduation to join him for dinner from 5–7:30 p.m. Thursday, May 9. Students will receive invitations from the president's office with details and instructions on how to register.
Sending and Blessing Reception: Viterbo has a tradition of conducting a welcoming ceremony for incoming students. Last spring, the university started a new tradition, a Sending and Blessing event that with the welcoming ceremony will bookend the Viterbo experience for students. The May Sending and Blessing event starts at 8:30 p.m. Friday, May 10, the evening before commencement in San Damiano Chapel, followed by a reception in the Fine Arts Center FSPA lobby. Undergraduate candidates for graduation are invited to take part, as are family members of those graduating.
