Graduation 2025
Warren Wilson College is excited to share details for the Commencement for the Class of 2025.
We look forward to celebrating your graduates with you on May 10th.
Here are the essentials:
- Plan to arrive on campus by 9:00am on Saturday, May 10, 2025. This will give you time to park, make your way to the event, and find a seat on the Sunderland lawn.
- The commencement ceremony begins at 10:00am sharp.
- Our rain site is DeVries Gymnasium on the west side of campus. In the event of inclement weather, please continue to enter campus off Warren Wilson College Rd at the North Entrance, and you will be directed to parking and the ceremony location. We will inform the community the Wednesday before the event if we will be using this location.
- Invitations/tickets are not required for admission to the ceremony. There is no limit on the number of guests that a graduate may invite.
- Parking on our small mountain campus is limited, so please carpool and allow adequate time to arrive, park, and find your seat.
- Please enter campus off Warren Wilson College Rd at the North Entrance—this is the third entrance at the top of the hill if you are coming in from I-40 via U.S. 70. From there you will be directed to available parking.
- We will have designated parking for those with a disabled parking tag. If you have other accessibility issues, or are in need of accommodations provided under Americans with Disability Act, please notify the Office of Academic Affairs.
- We will offer a shuttle service from 8:30am until 1:00pm (except during the ceremony) from the parking lots. Look for marked stops near your parking area.
- If you are attending a morning event prior to the ceremony (Psychology), please enter from the South Entrance to be directed to parking. You’ll leave your car there and take a short walk or shuttle to the ceremony.
- The Honors & Awards ceremony is 4:00pm on Friday, May 9, 2025 in the College Chapel. Parking is available in lots near the Chapel, DeVries Gymnasium, and across the road behind Kittredge Theatre.
We ask that you continue to check the this web page for updates. All arrangements are subject to change and students will be notified via campus email. We appreciate your patience as we work to plan this special celebration.
