On behalf of the offices in Belonging and Community Justice, Emory Campus Life, we extend our warmest congratulations to all Class of 2024 graduates!
Thank you so much for your patience as we work to adjust our graduation event plans. The BCJ graduation celebrations are not cancelled.
We are committed to celebrating this incredible milestone with you all and your guests at the new location, Gas South District Arena and Convention Center. This year, our traditional ceremonies - including Modupe Dayo; C.A.R.A.S.; First-Gen Low-and-Limited Income student ceremony; and Asian, Pacific Islander, and Desi-American student ceremony - will be held together and will give each student receiving their stole their well-deserved recognition.
The new BCJ Celebration will be held on Saturday, May 11 from 3 to 6 p.m. in the Exhibit Hall of the Gas South Arena. Registered participants should have received an email from Marching Order (emorycommencement@emory.edu) with details on how to receive your tickets, or to register if you haven't already.
We will continue to update this page with details as they become available.
