Recessional
There will not be a formal recessional. At the end of the ceremony, graduating students will be able to meet their guests in the stands.
Minnesota, hail to thee! Hail to thee our college dear Thy light shall ever be
A beacon bright and clear; Thy sons and daughters true
Will proclaim thee near and far; They will guard thy fame
And adore thy name
Thou shalt be their Northern Star.
“Hail! Minnesota”
