As a registered attendee, it is expected that you will attend all scheduled events and activities associated with the Conference.
2013 Commencement
Krista Raven or Nancy Mitton will be contacting you via your Bennington email accounts regarding Commencement. Commencement Weekend will take place May 31 and June 1. Friday’s events will include a senior dance performance, graduation concert, and the senior art exhibition in Usdan Gallery. The Welcome Reception will begin at 5:00 and is followed at 6:00 by the Commencement Dinner. The dinner includes addresses by President Coleman, the senior class speaker Jason Moon, and the yet-to-be-determined commencement speaker. The senior party will take place at 9:00 the same evening. The conferring of degrees will be held on Saturday morning at 10:00 am followed by a reception under the tent. If your family has not booked rooms for Commencement Weekend, they should do so soon, as this time of year is a busy one for local hotels. The Dean’s Office will be sending out Intent to Graduate forms to seniors graduating in June. All other commencement-related information will come from Nancy Mitton in the Office of Communications.
