Congratulations to our Graduates

From all of us in the Graduate Studies Office, I offer heartfelt congratulations and prayers for continued success to our 2018 graduates. We have enjoyed watching you grow as scholars, colleagues and friends. You have enriched our community with your passion, determination and commitment, and I am so proud to now call you Villanova Alumni!


No matter where your life's journey takes you, you are always a Villanovan, and you will always have a home here.


I will end on a practical note ... make sure you keep up to date with any last-minute Commencement and Convocation news, weather or otherwise, by visiting the University's Commencement page. No matter the weather, this will be a tremendous weekend!
