KOKOMO, Ind.—Indiana University Kokomo will conduct its 37th Commencement exercises on Tuesday, May 9. A total 487 degree candidates completing program requirements in May, June, and August 2006 will be honored, along with December 2005 graduates.
The Commencement ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m. on the east side of the Kelley Student Center, with IU President Adam Herbert presiding. This outdoor ceremony is open to the public.
During Commencement, the IU Kokomo Alumni Association will present its Distinguished Alumni Award to Annette Russell, president and CEO of Security Federal Bank in Logansport.
If inclement weather forces Commencement to be held inside, two separate ceremonies will be held in Havens Auditorium. The first indoor ceremony will begin at 10:30 a.m.; the second at 1:30 p.m. Because of space limitations, admission to the indoor ceremonies will be limited to ticket holders. (Degree candidates received admission tickets when caps and gowns were delivered in late April.
