Commencement Eve Celebration

An Oswego Salute to the Class of 2012
Join us for one of Oswego's longest-standing traditions, the annual Torchlight Ceremony. Experience the pageantry, as amid trumpet fanfare, we celebrate the symbolic passing of the torch of learning from alumni to seniors. This once-in-a-lifetime event is our seniors' welcome into the Oswego Alumni Association. Share an elegant dinner and this moving ceremony with your student, on his or her last night as an undergraduate.  Come celebrate the rich history of our proud school as we carry on the legacy of our founder, Edward Austin Sheldon - engaging minds and opening doors. Make your student's last night as an undergraduate a special one. As voices fill the air with the alma mater, in this candlelit ceremony, seniors will build memories to last forever, on the eve of their Commencement.
