Graduation weekend at Thomas Jefferson University

We haven't yet confirmed the ceremony venue for Thomas Jefferson University from its own commencement page, so the walk times here run to campus only.

Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.
