Fall Commencement to Graduate Over 770

TCU will host its fall commencement at 9 a.m. Dec. 14. TCU and Brite Divinity School will present degrees to approximately 770 candidates at Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena.  

Of the candidates, more than 200 are graduate level. The undergraduate candidates include nine double degrees, seven 4.0s and 243 Latin honors. Graduates include 32 international students from 20 different countries, 209 students from 38 different states, and 531 students from Texas.  

Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr., will confer the degrees, and he and President Daniel W. Pullin will offer remarks.  

TCU will continue a new tradition introduced in TCU’s Sesquicentennial year, the ceremonial “flame of knowledge.” The piece was commissioned to join TCU’s mace in preceding the platform party at the opening of the ceremony and will be carried by the chair of the Faculty Senate as a symbol of academic learning. The mace is carried by the chief marshal as a symbol of academic leadership.   

For graduates and their families, a reception will be held after the ceremony on the arena lawn. TCU enforces a clear bag policy for all campus events. To livestream or for more information, visit commencement.tcu.edu.
