Pacific Lutheran University
Spring Commencement
May 22 and May 23, 2025
Olson Gymnasium at Pacific Lutheran University
To create the sort of intimate and meaningful experience graduates are telling us they desire, and in order to accommodate the families, friends, and guests of our graduates, we’re hosting four separate Commencement ceremonies spread over two days in May 2025: one for each of the four colleges that make up PLU. Degrees are sorted into the College of Health Professions, College of Liberal Studies, College of Natural Sciences, and College of Professional Studies.
Students will participate in the ceremony for the college of their degree program.
To identify which ceremony you will participate in, please check the College Graduation Schedule.
Thursday, May 22, 2025 @ 3:00pm – College of Liberal Studies

Friday, May 23, 2025 @ 11:00am – College of Professional Studies

Each ceremony is expected to run approximately 60 – 90 minutes.
