UNCG grads turn their tassels while filming selfies with big smiles!

The Spring Commencement season is here once again, and all are cordially invited to join UNCG’s graduating class in these celebratory occasions.

Volunteers are an integral part of both the Doctoral and Master’s Commencement Ceremony and the University Commencement Ceremony. They play a key role in the success of these events each semester. Those ceremonies will be held on May 7 and 8 this year. Both are at First Horizon Coliseum.

The ceremonies begin at 10 a.m. Volunteers should report to the Coliseum by 8 a.m.

Volunteers will receive a continental breakfast the morning of the event, in addition to a volunteer thank-you event. For those that may be leery to commit to being a volunteer, we have a formal walkthrough with training and plan for virtual meet-ups. Volunteers will learn their team leads before the walkthrough.

Sign up here for the Doctoral and Master’s Commencement Ceremony, the University Commencement Ceremony, or both.

For more information about the ceremonies, please visit the Commencement Central website or email commence@uncg.edu.

UNCG very much appreciates everyone who contributes their time, expertise, and support in bringing these special events to life for graduating students and their families.

Why should you volunteer for Commencement ceremonies? You help make unforgettable moments like these from May 2025 that graduates and their loved ones will never forget.
