Academic Calendars
On a beautiful spring day in downtown Kansas City, Rockhurst University proudly celebrated its Class of 2025 with an inspiring commencement ceremony honoring graduates who “Lead with Courage, Live with Purpose.”
Throughout the ceremony, graduates reflected on their transformative experiences — built not just through academic achievements, but through deep relationships with faculty, staff, and friends. They demonstrated what it means to be leaders with courage, now stepping into the world with a strong sense of purpose, integrity, and community impact.
Rockhurst University is known for its close-knit campus community and commitment to academic excellence (learning), leadership, and service in the Jesuit tradition. This year’s graduation marked another significant milestone for a university that has been at the heart of Kansas City for over a century.
