The University of Kansas will hold its 2025 Commencement ceremony on May 17, 2025, in David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. The ceremony will be presided over by Chancellor Douglas A. Girod and will feature remarks from a distinguished guest speaker. Approximately 6,000 undergraduate and graduate students are expected to receive degrees during the ceremony.
Commencement is a time-honored tradition that celebrates the achievements of our graduates and marks their transition from students to alumni. It is a day for our graduates to reflect on their time at KU and to look forward to the bright future that lies ahead. Commencement is also an opportunity for our university community to come together and celebrate the accomplishments of our students.
