Thousands of graduates to celebrate earning a degree from WSU
OGDEN, Utah — Weber State University will honor the achievements of more than 3,880 graduates during commencement and convocation ceremonies April 24–25.
Graduates are earning 4,517+ credentials, ranging from certificates to associate’s, bachelor’s, and postgraduate degrees.
Over the past decade, WSU has awarded an increasing number of degrees and certificates, fueled by a growing number of pathways that help students both start and achieve their education goals. 
“I’m incredibly proud of our graduates for continually showing us that a degree from Weber State is a powerful investment in their future and community,” said Interim President Leslie Durham. “It’s wonderful to see so many students recognizing that the hard work they put into their education here opens doors for a lifetime.”
This spring’s most-awarded degrees include nursing, radiography, health sciences, and computer science.
Because the majority of Wildcats are from Utah — approximately 89% of the 2025–26 academic year student body — these graduates represent a significant portion of the local talent pool.
Attending graduation at Weber State University
Activities will span two days, with colleges holding individual convocation ceremonies — where graduates walk across the stage while their names are read — beginning Friday, April 24 at 9 a.m. Visit the commencement website for the full schedule. Graduates should arrive in their cap and gown 30–45 minutes before their college convocation’s listed start time.
This year’s commencement ceremony, which is the university-wide celebration, will be held in the Dee Events Center on Friday, April 24 at 7 p.m. All graduates, family members, and the community are invited to attend this free event.
During commencement, attendees will hear from guest speaker Kyle Poll, CEO of Utah’s popular GetOutPass. Poll, a WSU graduate, makes local entertainment more accessible by selling annual access passes that grant entry to multiple attractions. He has helped lead GetOutPass through significant growth and a recent merger, providing families with access to more than 2,000 attractions across 33 U.S. markets.
All ceremonies will be livestreamed on the commencement website, and video archives can be viewed and shared after the events have ended.
ASL interpreters and live captioning will be provided for all events at the Dee Events Center. To request these services at other commencement events, email deafservices@weber.edu or call 801-626-6413 at least 72 hours in advance.
