Countdown to Commencement

This traditional graduation prelude event offers a chance for graduating students to find everything they need for commencement.

You also can learn about post-college options for career and graduate degree programs, discover the many benefits afforded them as Viterbo alumni, and get your picture taken for a slideshow of graduating seniors.

At Countdown to Commencement, you can ask all the questions you might have about the May 11 graduation ceremony, such as, "Are tickets needed for guests to attend, and how many can I get?" 

Countdown to Commencement is practical and useful, but it’s also a well-earned celebration — with hors d’oeuvres and refreshments.

Countdown to Commencement is organized by stations in the Fine Arts Center's FSPA Lobby. Here’s what you’ll find:
