Commencement Tickets Will Soon Be Available For the Public
Community members interested in attending Union College’s 116th Commencement will have an opportunity to request tickets the last week of April.
Ashley Judd is this year’s honorary degree recipient and guest speaker.
Brenna Wallhausser, Union’s director of college communications, says the college wanted to make sure graduating students and their families were given first priority.
“We’ve now processed every ticket request from our seniors, so we know their families and friends can be accommodated,” says Wallhausser. “At the moment we’re taking requests from our faculty and staff. Next week we’ll give current students an opportunity to request tickets. As soon as those requests are complete, we’ll tally what’s left and make them available to the community.”
Union will likely handle community requests through an online box office, says Wallhausser. Details will be posted on Union’s Commencement Web site—www.unionky.edu/commencement—and on the college’s home page.
Union’s Commencement ceremony will take place Saturday, May 9, at 10:30 a.m. in Robsion Arena. The college plans to have a live feed available on large screens in Conway Boatman Chapel, just in case all tickets for Robsion Arena are distributed.
Those with questions about Union’s Commencement or the ticket request process for community members can reach Wallhausser at 606-546-1230.
Union College is a private liberal arts college related to The United Methodist Church and located in Barbourville, Ky.
