IU Kokomo plans Commencement on May 8
May 1, 2007
KOKOMO, Ind.—Indiana University Kokomo will conduct its 38th Commencement exercises on Tuesday, May 8. The ceremony salutes a total 503 new alumni, including students who graduated in December 2006 and degree candidates completing program requirements in May, June, and August 2007.
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 Elizabeth Billman, B.S. ’72, principal of Thompson Elementary School in Walton.
If inclement weather forces Commencement exercises 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. Tickets are required for admission to the indoor ceremonies only. (Degree candidates received admission tickets when caps and gowns were delivered in late April. For more details, visit “Countdown to Commencement” at www.iuk.edu/alumni or call (765) 455-9411.)
