HATTIESBURG — The University of Southern Mississippi will consolidate graduation programs into one event next May to coincide with the school's 100th anniversary.

Spring commencement ceremonies are scheduled for 9 a.m. on May 15, 2010, in M.M. Roberts Stadium on the Hattiesburg campus.

USM Provost Bob Lyman says planning is also under way by various colleges and departments to include separate, complementary events for students and their families.

USM officials expect about 1,600 graduates.

USM typically holds two May ceremonies in Hattiesburg and one on the Gulf Coast while December graduates normally participate in one Hattiesburg ceremony.

A Gulf Coast graduation ceremony will return to the schedule in May 2011.
