We look forward to celebrating the graduation of the Fuqua Daytime Class of 2022 in Cameron Indoor Stadium on Saturday, May 7, 2022.
We are working to create a safe and well-coordinated graduation event following Duke and NC state guidelines. We will continue to update this site throughout the Spring as we have more information from Duke regarding graduation weekend plans. We will also communicate pertinent updates with graduates directly via email.
All the details for Fuqua's Graduation events can be found throughout this site, including a pre-graduation to do list for students, frequently asked questions, and instructions for participating in all the graduation weekend events for students and their guests.
