Commencement Information
Marylhurst University holds its annual Commencement ceremony in June. Those who were awarded a diploma during the previous Fall or Winter terms, or who have applied to graduate for Spring or Summer term, are eligible and invited to participate.
Commencement
Marylhurst will honor graduating students with a Commencement Ceremony to be held at 10 am on Saturday, June 19, 2010 in the Portland Ballroom of the Oregon Convention Center in Portland. Located in a private corner of the center, the space is small enough to maintain an intimate environment while still offering enough seating for as many guests as you choose to invite. The convenient location offers ample on-site parking and easy access to MAX (Portland’s light rail system) and bus lines.
