Ball State University's Spring Commencement has historically taken place on the West Quadrangle Courtyard. The Spring 2025 commencement ceremony May 3 is not expected to be any different, according to Ball State's Commencement information website, despite forecasted rain showers in the early morning.
Joseph Sawicki, Newslink Indiana's Chief Weather Forecaster said via email, "Showers may linger into the morning from Friday night resulting in a forecasted 20% chance of rain for the day. Cloud cover will dissipate throughout the morning and lead to mostly sunny skies by the afternoon. Winds may be breezy at times and reach 10-15 mph."
He underscored that "The forecast will become more certain as the week progresses."
A Ball State University spokesperson confirmed April 28 the ceremony has not been moved to indoors and is "still planned to go on as usual in the Quad."
"If the main ceremony must move indoors due to inclement weather, the University will be sure to communicate updated event details as quickly as possible," added the spokesperson.
This brief will be updated with more information as it becomes available.
