It’s time to relish in the joy and pride that comes with being a college graduate. Moraine Valley faculty and staff cannot wait to applaud you on May 19.

 

Family and friends, commencement is a celebration not only of personal achievement but also of the collective effort and support you have given to your graduate along the way.

Summer weather + beautiful campus = the perfect place to study for finals ☀️

Just like that, classes have come to an end for the semester. Best of luck to everyone on their exams, and we're already looking forward to having you - and all of our new Moraine Valley students - back on campus in the fall! Except for our #MoraineGrads, who we are so excited to see cross the stage at commencement in just one short week 🙌
