The College of Built Environments (CBE) is proud to celebrate the Class of 2026 with department-specific graduation ceremonies held June 11–13, 2026. Family, friends, and members of the CBE community are invited to join us in Gould Hall and Architecture Hall as we honor our graduates, recognize their achievements, and mark this important milestone. Each ceremony will include the reading of graduate names, a walk across the stage, and remarks from college and department leadership.
