Martin Auditorium located in Seeger Chapel.

“We are proud of this year’s graduates, especially how they have handled the unexpected changes during their final semester, and our administration wants to ensure that this graduating class is recognized and celebrated,” said Milligan President Dr. Bill Greer. “Our 2020 spring commencement includes many achievements, such as the first graduates of our engineering, physician assistant and master’s in humanities programs. Furthermore, this ceremony will honor the final class of students whose diploma will indicate a degree from Milligan College, since we become Milligan University on June 1.”
Milligan’s spring commencement ceremony was originally scheduled for Saturday, May 9, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the ceremony will not be held until August, degrees will be conferred at the end of the spring semester and graduates will receive their diplomas by mail in late May.
