Congratulations to the students and families who will celebrate commencement this May! We are excited to celebrate with you and reflect on all your students have accomplished during their time here.
UW–Madison’s spring commencement ceremony for bachelor’s, law, and master’s degree candidates will be held in Camp Randall Stadium at noon on Saturday, May 12.
Schools, colleges, and some academic departments will hold recognition events throughout commencement weekend, scheduled around the main ceremony, to allow graduates and guests time to socialize with deans and faculty members and to celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2018.
The commencement speaker is America’s most-watched anchor, ABC News’ David Muir. Muir is an Emmy Award–winning journalist and co-anchor of ABC’s 20/20.( Learn more and watch his announcement at Times Square.)
