Commencement
Although Commencement marks the end of our graduates' time at Aurora University, the meaning of the word actually implies a beginning. For 116 years, Commencement at AU has celebrated sending the university's students into the world to represent our four core values of integrity, citizenship, continuous learning and excellence.
So while our graduates reflect on their time time at AU, they also leave knowing we have prepared them for a new beginning filled with opportunities for service and success. They start anew equipped with the knowledge and experience they need to pursue their dreams and achieve their full potential.
Such a transformation is the inevitable result of being part of an inclusive community dedicated to the power of learning.
The 117th Annual Commencement will be held May 9, 2010. We hope you will join us for this new beginning in the lives of our graduates.
