The larger venue allows more family and friends to attend, offers convenient parking and public transportation options, and provides technology and space to support graduates, faculty/staff and guests who have audio, visual, and mobility needs. A Promising Future is this year’s commencement theme, recognizing the promise of our graduates and the work of faculty and staff toward their success. Students, their families and friends, Seattle College employees, and community members are all encouraged to attend.
