SEAS/PitE Spring 2022 Commencement
We are excited to officially announce that SEAS will be celebrating the graduating Classes of 2022 on Saturday, April 30 at an outdoor commencement ceremony at the iconic Elbel Field.
Elbel Field has been the practice field for the U-M Marching Band for decades. Named after Louis Elbel, author of “The Victors,” it will be a particularly fitting venue to celebrate the accomplishments of the SEAS' 2022 graduates.
We’re proud to be one of three schools on campus that have partnered together to hold our respective ceremonies at Elbel Field this year, and we’re grateful to our partners at the School of Public Health and the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy. Together, we’ll build a temporary 2,000+ seat venue with accessible flooring and a stage on the grassy part of Elbel, just south of the marching band’s field, and we’ll have use of the Coliseum across Hill Street for staging graduates. This space has the benefit of ample parking, as well. View parking directions here.
Immediately following the ceremony, all graduates and their guests, faculty, and staff are invited to attend a celebratory gathering with light refreshments at Ingalls Mall South (approximately 758 N. University Ave.) under the large tent.
