Limestone University Graduation
Moved Indoors To Fullerton Auditorium
John G. Rocovich, Jr. To Provide Commencement Address
Limestone University will welcome Edward Via College of Osteopathic Medicine (VCOM) founder John G. Rocovich, Jr., as its commencement speaker on Saturday, Dec. 17, at 2 p.m., inside Fullerton Auditorium.
Limestone will confer degrees for 173 graduates from its various programs during the upcoming fall semester commencement. The ceremony was originally scheduled for Saints Field but was moved indoors after this week’s rainfall made Clary Field unavailable for the parking needed at an outdoor commencement.
Including the 218 degrees that were awarded in May of this year, Limestone will graduate a total of 319 students in 2022.
Limestone’s graduation will also be live streamed so family and friends unable to be in attendance can view the ceremony. Click the link below to view the live stream.
