DeVry University’s Commencement Weekend
The commencement ceremonies are part of a two-day Commencement
Weekend. On Saturday, June 8, DeVry is hosting an event where the
graduating class can further prepare for what’s next after
graduation with career planning sessions and an alumni networking
reception.
Commencement is a celebration for all graduates, regardless of
where they call home. On Sunday, graduating students from across
the country, including high school students from DeVry University’s
Advantage Academy in Chicago, Ill., have been invited to attend the
in-person ceremony. For those unable to travel or attend in person,
DeVry will also host virtual commencement ceremonies on Sunday,
