Commencement 2025
Commencement 2025 will be held on Saturday, May 3, 2025 in the Doden Field House, and will include two ceremonies — 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

At the traffic light by Subway, southbound SR 72 traffic will be rerouted left one block onto East St. then back to SR 72. Vehicles planning to travel west on SR 42 toward Xenia will be rerouted right at the Subway light and will connect with SR 42 via Bridge St.
