Marshaling at the Fall 2026 Commencement Ceremonies
The Fall 2026 Commencement ceremonies will be held on Friday, Dec. 11, 2026, at the Colorado Convention Center (700 14th St).
Staff and faculty instruction, advising and mentorship to students on their journey to a degree, makes your participation integral to the success of Commencement. As a marshal, you will cheer graduates on during the ceremonies, help point them in the right direction before, during and after, and will be able to assist with all of the little things that make this celebration truly special.
If you want to come to cheer on your students without marshaling, please plan to attend the ceremonies as a guest, though you will be allowed in the assembly area.
