You did it!
You did more than complete your journey—you shaped it. You built friendships, created experiences, and gained the confidence to lead. We’re proud of all you’ve achieved here at Ivy and excited to see what you do next.
Congratulations, Ivy graduates
The Debbie and Jerry Ivy College of Business celebrated its fall 2025 graduates at a college convocation ceremony on December 19 at James H. Hilton Coliseum.
The late afternoon ceremony included remarks from Raisbeck Endowed Dean Raj Agnihotri and individual recognition of degree candidates who were in attendance.
Wearing caps and gowns, Ivy faculty and graduating students marched into Hilton Coliseum to the applause of family and friends. Candidates crossed the stage as their names were read and shook hands with their department chair and professors.
The student speaker was Joaquin Gonzalez from Lima, Peru, who graduated with a bachelor of science in entrepreneurship and management information systems, cum laude. After graduation, he plans to return to Peru to launch his own business, JTM IT & Business Analytics.
“Don’t rush your life. Don’t compare your chapter to someone else’s, and never apologize for the dreams that feel too big for the room you’re in.”
— Joaquin Gonzalez
The ceremony can be viewed on the university’s YouTube channel.
This fall, 288 undergraduate students earned bachelor of science degrees from the Ivy College of Business. The college also awarded 12 bachelor of business administration degrees and 59 master’s degrees.
Meet the marshals
Every semester, seven students are selected by Ivy faculty to be marshals for their respective departments and lead their fellow graduates across the stage at the Ivy College of Business convocation ceremony. An eighth student is selected to serve as the Ivy student marshal at the university’s undergraduate commencement ceremony.
