Fairleigh Dickinson University recognizes its graduates at Commencement Ceremonies that are held once a year in May at its campuses in New Jersey and Vancouver.  This is a special occasion for you to celebrate with your friends and family. Students graduating from the Vancouver campus are invited to participate in both ceremonies.
