A&M-Victoria poised to celebrate fall graduates
Texas A&M University-Victoria will host four commencement ceremonies to celebrate the fall 2025 graduation class over the course of two days.
Commencement will be held on Friday, Nov. 19 and Saturday, Nov. 20 at the Victoria Fine Arts Center, 1002 Sam Houston Dr., Victoria, Texas 77901. This is the university’s first commencement as part of The Texas A&M University System.
This graduating season, 548 students have applied to graduate from A&M-Victoria, and the university is expected to celebrate 670 students as they walk the stage to receive their degrees. The 670 students includes some graduates from the spring who chose to postpone their ceremony participation, as well as students who completed their degrees during the summer term.
"Commencement is more than a ceremony, it is a profound rite of passage," said A&M-Victoria President Christian Hardigree. "It honors the discipline that goes into late nights and early morning study sessions, the courage to ask difficult questions and the dedication to serve something larger than oneself. As graduates cross the stage, I hope they remember that a diploma is a recognition of all that they have accomplished. I cannot wait to applaud these graduating Jaguars at Commencement and to witness the futures they will create."
On Friday, Nov. 19, the university will host the College of Liberal Arts & Social Sciences Commencement ceremony at 2 p.m., followed by the College of Natural & Applied Science later that afternoon at 6 p.m.
On Saturday, Nov. 20, the College of Education & Health Professions Commencement ceremony will be held at 10 a.m., with the College of Business’ ceremony later at 2 p.m.
