Commencement Ushers

Join the Marist Community and Become an Usher for the 74^th Commencement Ceremonies!

Every year for the commencement ceremonies, the Marist community comes together to celebrate with the graduating class and their families! We want commencement to be a day to remember for our Marist graduates, but we cannot do this without the assistance from our employees and current students.

Let’s make this a memorable event.  Apply to become an usher for the class of 2020’s commencement ceremonies today!
