Augusta University’s spring commencement to be held May 13

More than 1,200 students are expected to participate in Augusta University’s commencement exercises at 2 p.m. on May 13 in the James Brown Arena.

As part of the ceremony, the university will commission a graduating ROTC cadet into the United States Army, and the Pamplin College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences will award a posthumous degree to the family of Charles Davis, a student who died of cancer in March. Davis was a few college credits shy of earning his bachelor’s degree in history.

President Brooks Keel will serve as the commencement speaker and Board of Regents member C. Thomas Hopkins, Jr. will give remarks.
