Our Graduates Have Worked Hard to Realize their Dream of a Degree; Please Volunteer to Make their Commencement Special Our Graduates Have Worked Hard to Realize their Dream of a Degree; Please Volunteer to Make their Commencement Special The hard work and dedication of the UVI Class of 2018 will be realized at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, in the Sports and Fitness Center when they receive their diplomas during our commencement ceremonies.

We need your help to ensure our graduates have a grand ceremony. Volunteers are needed to make this day pleasantly memorable. The greatest need at this time is ushers. Give a little time during commencement and make a difference to our graduates.
