Additionally, for the safety of all graduates and their friends and families, all attendees will pass through a security screening that will include going through metal detectors and may include a search of purses and possessions prior to entering the venue. Per the Mayo Civic Center's rules, the following items are strictly prohibited:

  • Weapons of any kind, including firearms, knives, or pepper spray.
