2022 Fall Commencement

Congratulations Fall 2022 graduates! We celebrated over 1,200 EKU students during two fall commencement ceremonies on Saturday, Dec. 3. Peers, friends and families gathered at Alumni Coliseum to honor graduates from the university’s six academic colleges. Among the top awarded degrees were psychology, occupational safety, criminal justice, nursing and aviation. The members of this graduating class hail from 11 countries, 40 states and 94 Kentucky counties.

Each graduate had the opportunity to celebrate their hard-earned success by crossing the stage and shaking hands with EKU President Dr. David McFaddin. Graduates, welcome to the Eternal Colonels family, and we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors! Enjoy these proud moments from the fall graduation ceremonies, captured by University Photographer Carsen Bryant.
