While the University of Dayton does not send out graduation announcements to hometown papers, students and their families are welcome to notify their local newspaper.

Email and mailing addresses usually are available online by checking the "Contact Us" link on each paper's website. Be sure to include the graduate's name, degree, and field of study, along with contact information for the person submitting the notice. You may also want to include a photo of the graduate and should write his or her name on the back of the photo or include it in the file name of a digital image. For verification, you may provide a link to the commencement program below or a scan of your diploma.
