Congratulations, Class of '10
Excelsior College welcomed our newest graduates and their guests to Commencement on July 9, 2010. We enjoyed meeting you in person and sharing your pride on that very special day.
With activities scheduled both before and after the actual ceremony, Commencement is a colorful, exciting, and meaningful time each year. It offers a very special chance to meet and make connections, provides an opportunity for the entire Excelsior College family to come together face-to-face, often for the first time, and celebrates the satisfaction and sense of accomplishment unique to our graduates.
