Commencement Ceremony
Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine (RUSVM) celebrated its 54th commencement ceremony on May 16, 2020. One of our treasured traditions, this year’s commencement ceremony was our first-ever virtual ceremony celebrating the 378 DVM and MSc graduates, and their hard-earned achievements.

Regalia
In honor of the Class of 2020, Dean Callanan and the commencement committee arranged for RUSVM to cover the costs of regalia (Tam, Gown, Tassel, Hood) for the entire graduating class. Many of you reached out stating that you missed the original announcement and deadline, so we have extended this offer through midnight Eastern Standard Time on May 16, 2020. To place your order, follow these easy steps:
- Go to: colleges.herffjones.com/college/ross/
- Choose Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine
- Click Cap & Gown
- Choose your degree type from the drop-down menu
- Click ‘Cap & Gown’ tab at the top of the page, fill out your information, and complete the order
The cost will be charged back to the institution. Please note that any order placed now through May 16 may not arrive in time for the virtual ceremony. We encourage all graduates to take photos when your regalia does arrive and, of course, you will reuse it when you can walk across the stage in person in May 2021.
If you had already purchased regalia, the refund processing time is 3-4 weeks.
For further information regarding the ordering of your graduation regalia, contact Herff Jones at (305) 255-0502 or by email at [email protected]. Additional charges may apply for international shipping.
