SLU's Midyear Commencement is slightly different from the May Commencement ceremony.
In May, because of the large number of students graduating, the students walk across
the stage in precommencement ceremonies. With a smaller group of graduates, students
who take part in SLU's Midyear Commencement Ceremony were individually recognized
as they cross the stage along with others from their school, college, or degree-granting
center.
