The Lundquist College of Business graduate commencement ceremonies are held separately from the main University of Oregon commencement ceremony that takes place at Autzen stadium. Students are invited to participate in both their program ceremony and the main UO ceremony. All ceremonies this year are being held in-person but will have livestreaming available for remote viewing.
