Commencement Locations

Commencement Locations
Commencement has been held at various locations around the St. Louis area. In the early years, the ceremony was held outside on the main campus grounds. Later everything moved indoors into the new Loretto Hilton Center which opened in 1966. Eventually larger spaces were needed to accomodate the students and their guests. Locations used throughout history are: 1966-1984: Loretto-Hilton Center 1985-1988: Powell Symphony Hall 1989: Kiel Opera House (now called the Peabody Opera House) 1990: Eden Seminary grounds 1991: St. Louis Arena 1992-2003: Eden Seminary grounds 2004-2008: Edward Jones Dome 2009- : Muny Opera in Forest Park Return to Webster University History Facts home	More information: Kathy Gaynor Curator of Archives 314-246-7811 kgaynor@webster.edu
