UofM to Hold Largest Commencement with 2,794 Graduates Saturday, May 6, at FedExForum
UofM to Hold Largest Commencement with 2,794 Graduates Saturday, May 6, at FedExForum

Quote:May 3, 2023 — The University of Memphis will recognize a record 2,794 graduates from spring 2023 with three commencement ceremonies at 10 a.m., 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 6, at FedExForum. Mark Greaney, a 1992 UofM graduate, novelist and the No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Gray Man series, will be the commencement speaker.

The new record eclipses the 2,713 UofM graduates in the spring 2022 commencement. There will also be 29 TigerLife Completion Awards presented Saturday.

Mark Greaney is on the way to a legendary series of novels with his Gray Man novels. I believe there has already been one film adaptation.

Encouraging. Hope this continues to trend up. It's a shame the ceremony has to be held in an off-campus facility.

Welp, they can't have it at the Coliseum any more.
Seems like a good replacement venue.

So I’m guessing the field house is too small as well? So now not only do we need an OCS but we also need an indoor arena for graduation ?

The only logical solution here is a separate on-campus domed graduation stage.

It's not unreasonable to host a graduation on-campus in an on-campus arena or stadium, neither of which our university has so we rent facilities. I suppose we could begin holding classes via zoom & never build another building, do away with the "campus" altogether & when we have a gathering need, just rent.

Most schools hold their graduations in their on-campus arena where basketball is played, concerts held, volleyball is played, etc.
