Commencement at Husky Stadium
On June 8, 2024, the University of Washington will honor the graduating class of 2024 at the University’s 149th Annual Commencement Exercises. Over 7,400 graduates will take the field at the magnificent Husky Stadium to the cheers and applause of 50,000 family members and friends.
All graduates will walk across the 4,200-square-feet of purple and gold commencement stages, adorned with life-sized replicas of the University columns, and have their photographs taken as they receive their diploma mementos (a purple leather diploma cover bearing the official seal of the University of Washington).
It will be a once-in-a-lifetime event in the lives of graduates and parents alike – an experience not to be missed.
