Commencement 2017

Sunday, June 4—South Lawn of Old Main, 10:00 a.m.

Watch Commencement live at 10 a.m. on Sunday, June 4.

Knox College Commencement is right around the corner, and exciting events are in store to celebrate our graduates. Commencement 2017 is on Sunday, June 4. Families are encouraged to book their accommodations early, since nearby hotels fill up fast. (Most Galesburg hotels are already full.) Bookmark this page for the latest information, as events are subject to change.

In early January, potential graduates received information about Commencement planning -- including how to order their cap & gown, where they need to check-in before finalizing graduation plans, and who to contact for questions. Be sure to read those materials thoroughly and follow the instructions.
