Students who graduated or will graduate between summer 2024 and summer 2025 are invited to participate in the 2025 SPP Graduate Celebration. Every graduate may collect tickets for TWO guests (no exceptions). We apologize for the limit, but we must do this to stay within the seating capacity of the MU Ballroom. 

Graduates will not need a ticket. Graduate regalia is welcome but not required.

You must RSVP at the link below by June 3, 2025. After you RSVP, you may go to Bexell 300 and collect two tickets for the event. **
