Graduate Commencement
Schedule

The Graduate Commencement Ceremony will take place on Friday, May 23, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. in the Mullins Center.

Candidates must check in between 12:30 and 1:00 p.m., wearing Regalia, at the tent set up to the west of the Mullins Center. At this time, final instructions for the procession will be given. Strollers, baby carriers, food and drink are not permitted in the student seating area. No purses, briefcases, or extra clothing should be carried into the arena; the University cannot be responsible for lost or stolen property.

Your name will be read as you walk across the stage, and we would like to pronounce your name correctly. If it would be helpful for the reader to hear your name spoken, please call 413-577-6221. If you have any problems, call the Graduate School at 413-545-0024.

Guests should be seated by 1:30 p.m., as the processional will begin promptly at 1:45 p.m.

A reception is planned for the graduate degree recipients, their guests, and faculty, immediately following the ceremony at approximately 3:45 p.m, under the tent on the west side of the Mullins Center. Refreshments will be served.
