The celebration will continue on May 2 in Ephraim, where the ceremony will take place outdoors at the Terry Foote Stadium. Guests should plan to be seated by 2:30 p.m. to witness the processional and the inspiring ceremony that follows. Steve Starks, CEO of the Larry H. Miller Co., will deliver the commencement address.
