Griffith Memorial Arch Ceremony
Immediately following the conclusion of the graduate ceremony and at the conclusion of the undergraduate ceremony will be the traditional arch ceremony.
A recessional will be played, and graduates will be led in a formal line of march through the Griffith Memorial Arch in front of Old Main, marking the completion of your time at the University of Findlay and your entry into the world beyond. If you recall, many of you, as freshmen, marched in through the arch just before classes began to signify your beginning at UF.
