The Psychology Department will be holding our departmental commencement this Saturday, May 11th @ 1:00 in the Ohio Room in the HUB. This is an additional event to the university-wide commencement that is a long-standing tradition in our department. We love setting aside time in your special weekend to share in the celebration with you. This is a smaller celebration that allows us the chance to meet the people who have cheered you on along the way and gives you the opportunity to introduce that support group to your classmates and faculty who have been an integral part of your time here at IUP. Our commencement event will be under an hour and will be followed by a reception with food and drinks and time for chatting and taking pictures. And there is no limit to the number of guests that you can bring with you! Congratulations to all of our 2024 graduates!
