Celebrating Local Achievements: Over 330 Brenau Students to Graduate This May

Brenau University will award degrees to over 330 students at the end of the spring semester in 2024. The university's 145th commencement ceremonies are scheduled for May 3 and May 4, with more than 200 graduates expected to attend.

The Women’s College commencement is set for 4:30 p.m. on Friday, May 3. The next day, at 9:30 a.m., ceremonies for other undergraduates as well as master’s, specialists, and doctoral candidates will take place. Both events will be held on the front lawn of Pearce Auditorium on the Gainesville campus.

President David L. Barnett, Ph.D., will give the commencement address at both events. He highlighted the importance of the ceremonies in fulfilling Brenau's mission of preparing students for ongoing intellectual and personal success. President Barnett also noted his privilege in being part of the graduates' milestone.

Additionally, on April 30, Brenau will conduct a Nyansapo Kente Stole Ceremony, organized by the Black Faculty and Staff Association. The ceremony will include the presentation of stoles featuring the nyansapo, or wisdom knot, symbolizing community support for the graduates. It will be held at Pearce Auditorium and is open to all graduates, undergraduates, faculty, staff, and students.
