The Commencement ceremonies are monumental events that celebrate all of the graduates. That’s several thousand friends and classmates coming together to celebrate! With that many graduates, it is not possible to read all of their names.
For a more focused event, consider attending your school’s recognition event. These programs complement the Commencement ceremony and often include a reading of names.
