About Military Ceremonies

Many military installations around the United States and abroad hold joint recognition ceremonies to honor graduates in and around their communities. These ceremonies recognize graduates from a number of universities that have a presence on their installation. Joint recognition ceremonies are hosted and performed by the military base, but in many cases, the university will have a representative there to support graduates.

Most installations invite active-duty and retired military personnel to attend, along with civilians in the area. However, since these ceremonies are hosted by the military base, and are not controlled by the university, each ceremony will have different requirements.
