Fall 2024 Commencement Program

LOCATION CHANGE NOTICE

UHV is excited to announce that we will be moving our fall 2024 commencement ceremonies from Katy to Victoria. We are looking forward to welcoming our graduates from all across the state and the nation to Victoria to celebrate their inspiring achievements together. The Victoria campus has seen a lot of growth in the past few years, and we would love to showcase some of those new additions to our students and their families. The university is now home to The Reaves Collection of Texas Art that includes more than 40 pieces of artwork distributed across campus, Kay’s Grove outdoor garden, new buildings, a beautiful new entranceway on Ben Wilson Street complete with a tower, and will soon be home to a new bronze jaguar statue. The decision to move the ceremony to Victoria was based on a desire to bring more students to the home campus. Above all, we hope to make this a meaningful celebration for everyone involved. By welcoming students to a Victoria ceremony, we hope to offer students a chance to connect with their alma mater’s roots and celebrate their achievements in the heart of our university community.

This announcement was sent out to all student emails on August 20,2024.
