Associate Professor of Aviation Science Stephen Belt, Ph.D., will deliver the commencement address. Belt has been chosen as the 2023 Nancy McNeir Ring Award recipient — SLU's highest honor for teaching, was initially established in 1966 by SLU's chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, the national Jesuit honor society, to acknowledge faculty members who display special dedication to students. 

Midyear Commencement is slightly different from the May Commencement ceremony. In May, because of the large number of students graduating, the students walk across the stage in precommencement ceremonies. With a smaller group of graduates, students who take part in SLU's Midyear Commencement Ceremony are individually recognized as they cross the stage along with others from their school, college, or degree-granting center.
