Commencement for UGA graduate students moved to Sanford Stadium

ATHENS, Ga. — Spring graduate students at UGA have a new location for their commencement.

Last week the school closed Stegeman Coliseum after inspectors noticed a small piece of the ceiling fell.

Stegeman Coliseum is almost 60 years old.

The facility underwent multiple renovations between 2010 and 2017.

Commencement for graduate students will now be held at Sanford Stadium on Thursday, May 11 at 9:30 a.m.

There are no changes to the undergraduate commencement.
