Following the graduation ceremony, we will proceed to the Mbongi Spot for pictures and a reception celebration.

This space is not covered; please be prepared for the weather. Kente Graduate will begin promptly at 2 p.m. and end at 4 p.m. in order to accommodate Commencement Mass, for which set up will begin on Drollinger Stage immediately following this event.
