“Taking the safety of our graduates and their families into consideration, we have decided to hold the Spring Commencement Ceremonies indoors. Recent rains have saturated the grounds and made them unstable,” said TAMIU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Pablo Arenaz.

Both Commencement ceremonies will stream as live broadcast in the Student Center Theater, room 236.
Additionally, Commencement rehearsals, originally scheduled to take place on the University Green, have also been moved indoors to the Kinesiology-Convocation Building (Gym).
