Cornerstone University
Commencement
The hard work paid off. The papers were written, and the books were put away. The time came to celebrate. We joined together in honoring the Class of 2025 at the 83rd Commencement of Cornerstone University. Together, we recognized our outstanding graduates and the work they put in to achieve their goals. As they took this next step, we rallied around them and lifted them up in prayer and praise for all the LORD had done in their lives.
This year’s graduation ceremony took place on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 10 a.m. on campus. Doors opened for all guests at 9 a.m. Families were invited to join as we celebrated the graduates of 2025! See the information below for details regarding tickets for the Commencement Ceremony on May 10 and livestream viewing for additional family members.
Cornerstone is a latex-free campus. Please keep this in mind when bringing gifts for your graduate.Graduation
