Graduation Information
Indiana Wesleyan University offers three dates a year on which to honor our graduates at Commencement and at which time conferral of degrees occurs: April, August and December. There are usually two, if not three, ceremonies on each of these dates.
IWU also provides three conferral dates throughout the year in addition to the commencements listed above. Those additional conferrals occur in the months of February, June and October.
Our most recent graduation ceremonies were held on Saturday, April 29, 2017. Our commencement speaker for the 10:00 a.m. ceremony was Rev. Gregory J. Boyle, S. J.. Reverend Boyle is the Founder and Executive Director of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, California. Dr. Keith Newman, former Chancellor of the IWU-Marion campus, was the speaker at the 2:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. ceremonies. In his commencement address entitled "Siri and Google Can't Help" Dr. Newman encouraged the graduates to consider what's next on their plan as they have achieved their academic accomplishments. Dr. Newman is currently the President of Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma.
Graduation ceremonies are held in the Chapel-Auditorium of IWU's Marion campus. For further information on seating, directions, tickets and accommodations, please click here. Additionally, on the day of graduation, the ceremonies are streamed live on the Web at www.indwes.edu/Events/Commencement.
