UNC Asheville Commencement Ceremony

UNC Asheville will hold its December Commencement Ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday, December 20, at the Thomas Wolfe Auditorium, located in the Asheville Civic Center. Some 225 students are candidates for bachelor’s and Master of Liberal Arts degrees. A reception for graduates and their families will be held in the Civic Center lobby immediately following the ceremony. No tickets are required. The event is free and open to the public.

The commencement address will be given by Sarah Judson, UNC
Asheville Associate Professor of History and winner of the University’s
2008 Alumni Distinguished Faculty Award. Judson, who joined the faculty
in 1997, has established an outstanding reputation as a professor who
cares deeply about her students. Students note that she gives
generously of her time out of class and credit her mentorship with
guiding their careers. Judson holds a doctorate from New York
University and focuses her research on 19th and 20th century U.S.
history, American women, and African Americans.

In case of extremely severe winter weather, the ceremony will be
canceled; information concerning cancellation will be posted on UNC
Asheville’s homepage at www.unca.edu and on the University’s Snowline
