It’s Graduation Season at GMU’s EagleBank Arena

The venue is in the midst of hosting dozens of NoVA high school ceremonies.

Graduation season is in high swing. And George Mason University’s EagleBank Arena is in the thick of the action. EagleBank hosted Northern Virginia Community College’s commencement on May 12, and GMU’s own commencement and degree celebrations were held May 14–17. 

Starting May 27, the venue began hosting local high school ceremonies, and the festivities continue through June 16.

EagleBank will host up to three ceremonies each day, so be aware that there may be heavy traffic entering and exiting campus from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m. Shenandoah Parking Deck (levels 4 and 5) will be open for limited overflow student, employee, and event parking on weekdays when graduations occur.

If you are planning to attend a ceremony, GMU advises you follow the Parking and Transportation Department on Facebook and X for updates. You can also contact the school’s parking services at [email protected] or 703-993-2710 with questions.
