For Family and Friends

When planning your visit for this very special event, be sure to make your reservations well in advance.  We provide a list of suggested nearby hotels and restaurants in the area but these are provided for your convenience and the University does not endorse any particular establishment.

If you are making reservations to celebrate after the Baccalaureate Mass on Saturday evening, or for after the Commencement Ceremony on Sunday, please keep in mind that traffic will be heavy getting out of the parking lots and onto the access roads.  To have a stress free celebration, make your reservations in advance and allow yourself ample time to get there.
