Commencement Programs
Scope and Contents
Collection consists of ESU undergraduate and graduate commencement programs and related materials, documenting members of each graduating class and detailing the festivities planned. While earlier on in the school's history there was a single shared commencement, as the school grew, multiple commencement ceremonies were often held each year, usually in the spring, summer, and winter. Starting in 2007, undergraduate and graduate students' commencements were held separately. This collection is incomplete, missing programs from the following years: 1901, 1902, 1903, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, 1920, 1922, 1924, 1925, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, 1935, 1936, 1940, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 2022.
