Graduation marks a very important step toward your future as a distinguished Rutgers nurse. To honor your achievement, there will be two ceremonies: the Rutgers University Commencement Ceremony at High Point Stadium in New Brunswick, NJ, and the School of Nursing Convocation Ceremony at NJPAC in Newark, NJ.
Convocation offers a personalized closure to your nursing education here at Rutgers University. This page will provide additional details about both of these celebrations as we bring together family, friends, and colleagues to acknowledge your success before moving on to the next phase of your career.
