This weekend marks GWU’s 2022 Commencement! From Thursday through Sunday, the campus will be filled with graduates dressed in their regalia, family and friends snapping pictures, and students, staff and faculty members applauding the accomplishments and hard work of their peers. 

The staff at Himmelfarb Library would like to take this opportunity to recognize all of the graduates in the School of Nursing, Milken Institute School of Public Health and the School of Medicine and Health Sciences. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed working with you both in and out of the classroom, addressing your information needs and helping you navigate your academic and research interests. We know you will continue to achieve your goals as you transition into your career or continue to navigate academia and scholarly publishing.  Once the dust settles on graduation, be sure to check out GW’s E-Resources for Alumni!

Here are some resources and brief reminders for Sunday’s Commencement ceremony. The event will begin at 10:30 am on the National Mall. Graduates should arrive by 8:30 am and line up with their school. Please wear your graduation regalia and bring your Commencement credential with you. GWU’s Commencement Details page provides more information such as the ceremony’s COVID-19 safety measures, a graduate checklist, a list of prohibited items and a detailed schedule. If you’re posting pictures from the ceremony on your social media accounts, be sure to tag us on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook so we can celebrate with you!  

Congratulations Class of 2022! Though we’ll miss seeing you on campus and in Himmelfarb, we know you will continue to make us proud and we are eager to see what accomplishments and accolades await you in the future!
