Help us kick off the weekend's celebrations with Graduation Eve drinks! I have reserved an area in the outdoor beer garden. It's family friendly with a small playground and lawn games, surrounded wheat and clover fields. In addition to beer, they serve a variety of wine, cider, soda, juice, lemonade, iced tea, coffee, and juice boxes for kids.

Graduation Ticket Pickup 12:15 pm - 1:00 pm Peer and Sarah Pedersen Pavilion *Tickets are required for all guests, including babies and children. Reservation information will be communicated to law students. Families and guests may also pick up tickets reserved by their law students at the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts immediately prior to the ceremony beginning at 12:00 pm on May 16th only. Parking is available in the Krannert Center garage, in metered spaces on nearby streets, and in permit lots (with the exception of 24-hour rental spaces) during commencement weekend. If you are driving, please be sure to allow enough time to find parking since there are multiple convocation ceremonies on Saturday.
