What date is college graduation in Asheville? (Wilson, Black Mountain: hotel, universities)

[NJexpat]

We will be in the Asheville/Black Mountain area around the first or second week in May, and I understand that motel rooms will be hard to get at college graduation time.

Can anyone clue me in as to which date(s) that might be, and how far away I might have to go to get a hotel room?

Also, is there more than one college in this area?

Thanks
