The College of Wooster is delighted to be able to celebrate with the Class of 2020 on campus during the weekend of May 20-22, 2022!

We have planned for ways to include the Commencement components most meaningful to you such as the multicultural stoling ceremony, planting of the class tree, a march through the arch like I.S. Monday, evening tent gatherings, commencement practice and champagne toast, baccalaureate, and of course, commencement itself, which will be held at McGaw Chapel on Sunday, May 22, 2022, at 1:30 p.m.

ALL PARTICIPANTS AND GUESTS ARE REQUIRED TO WEAR MASKS INDOORS. THE COLLEGE WILL HAVE HIGH QUALITY MASKS AVAILABLE FOR ANYONE WHO NEEDS ONE.
