As our December graduates take their next steps—into careers, graduate school, service, or new adventures—we’re gathering to honor the achievements that brought them here. The 2025 December Graduates Celebration is a special opportunity to recognize their hard work and mark this meaningful moment with family, friends, faculty, and staff.
Join us on Wednesday, December 10, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. in the Community Room of the Cutler Student Center for an uplifting reception dedicated to our graduating students. While this is not a formal commencement ceremony, it offers an opportunity for graduates to reflect on their journeys and look forward to the exciting adventures ahead.
Each graduate will be individually acknowledged and photographed to mark this meaningful milestone. The celebration will feature remarks from student speakers and President Steven M. Corey, Ph.D. Light refreshments will be served, and business casual attire is encouraged.
Share Your Post-Graduation Plans
We want to spotlight the diverse paths our students are taking after earning their degrees. Graduates are invited to share a brief description of their post-graduation plans—whether beginning a new job, pursuing further education, traveling, serving their community, or exploring new opportunities. These stories help highlight the bold and inspiring futures our students are building.
RSVP by December 3, 2025
Graduates planning to attend should RSVP by Wednesday, December 3, 2025, including the number of guests and their post-graduation plans.
December graduates are also invited to attend Olivet’s formal Commencement on May 16, 2026.
Congratulations to our December graduates—your success strengthens the legacy of The University of Olivet.
