The University of Texas at Dallas will hold a new All-University Commencement ceremony this spring — an event that will bring new graduating students and recent alumni together to celebrate their achievements. “An all-university commencement ceremony is something that I have participated in and enjoyed every place that I have worked or studied. “For the graduating students, there is a particular joy in having all of one’s friends gathered together for a grand celebration of shared achievement. The venue, which will provide a scenic backdrop of the UT Dallas campus, will have about 5,000 seats available for graduates and their guests.
