Davidson College's 182nd Commencement will take place on the front lawn of campus on Sunday, May 19, 2019.

A live stream of commencement will be available on the college website. Live coverage allows students to share this important event with loved ones who are unable to attend the ceremony. This live stream will also be projected in the C. Shaw Smith 900 Room in the Alvarez College Union. In the event of inclement weather, the stream will be projected in the Duke Family Performance Hall as well.

In addition to the commencement ceremony, family and friends of students are welcome to attend a number of events held on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, including Senior Soiree, department open houses and performances by the Davidson College Chorale featuring senior soloists and the Jazz Ensemble.
