Boise State's Spring Graduation Celebration Is May 14

Boise State University President Bob Kustra and the university deans and vice presidents are cooking up a celebration for Boise State’s graduates. Kustra and the other administrators will be the barbecue chefs at the eighth annual Spring Graduation Celebration sponsored by the Boise State Alumni Association from noon-2 p.m. on Friday, May 14, at the Student Union North Parking Lot. In addition to the barbecue, the celebration will include live music by the High Street Band, children’s games, a jumphouse and other festivities. Participants can spin the Wheel of Games to win free prizes such as raft rentals, massages, a yoga mat, a stability ball, stainless steel coffee mugs, a free Alumni Association membership and more. Free to graduates, the event is a chance for graduates and their families to visit with favorite professors, take pictures with friends or just enjoy the sunshine. Graduates can pick up two free tickets at the Student Union Information Desk, at the Alumni Center at 1173 University Drive, or at the alumni table in the Bookstore on May 3 or 4. Additional tickets are $5 and children under 10 are free. The Alumni Association sponsors the barbecue every year and it usually draws more than 1,500 people. In case of rain, the event will be moved inside the Student Union Building.
