May 17, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — Sunday's 172nd commencement exercises at DePauw University can be seen and heard anywhere in the world. For a fourth consecutive year, the graduation ceremonies will be webcast live. A video and audio feed of the complete program will begin shortly before East College's bell tolls at 1 p.m. (EST) and the Class of 2011 begins processing toward Holton Memorial Quadrangle, where the event is scheduled to take place.

You can see the webcast live via this link. The program will remain available in archived form for approximately two weeks.

Theodore M. "Tim" Solso, chairman and chief executive officer of Cummins Inc. and 1969 graduate of DePauw University, will deliver the principal address to DePauw's Class of 2011 at Sunday's ceremony.

Solso and two other distinguished individuals -- Cassel Grubb, professor emeritus of music at DePauw and former director of the DePauw University School of Music; and Ian Morris, Jean and Rebecca Willard Professor of Classics and professor of history at Stanford University, will receive honorary doctoral degrees Sunday.

For a tenth consecutive year, DePauw will produce a limited edition commemorative DVD, which is available for pre-order.  The disc, which is professionally replicated, will include footage of each graduate receiving their DePauw diploma as well as a range of bonus materials. Orders are now being accepted at $19.95 for the first disc; additional DVDs sent to the same address will be $8 each (7% sales tax will be added to Indiana orders). An online order form is available here; you can learn more about the disc in this article.
