Fall commencement ceremonies for UM-Flint will take place Dec. 14, while UM-Dearborn’s celebrations are planned for Dec. 20.

UM-Flint’s ceremony for summer and fall graduates returns to the Dort Financial Center for the first time since 2019, and unlike previous years at the Riverfront Conference Center will feature one ceremony starting at 2:30 p.m. rather than multiple.

There is no guest limit, but seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. The venue, which is just across town from campus at 3501 Lapeer Road, seats about 4,000 people. More than 1,000 students are eligible to participate.

UM-Dearborn will recognize 751 degree candidates — ranging in age from 18 to 61 — during two 90-minute ceremonies at the Fieldhouse.

The schedule is: College of Arts, Sciences and Letters and the College of Business, 10 a.m.; the College of Education, Health and Human Services and the College of Engineering and Computer Science, 2 p.m.

U-M Dearborn alum Sadaf Lodhi, a board-certified OB-GYN, will deliver the keynote speech.
