As a direct result of Governor Baker’s announcement earlier this week that the Commonwealth is further reducing pandemic restrictions, we are now able to welcome a limited number of registered guests — two people per graduate — to our 2021 UMass Amherst commencement ceremonies on Friday, May 14. 

We are pleased to share details of our upcoming 2021 Undergraduate Commencement in May as well as the plans we are developing to celebrate the Class of 2020 this fall.

You are invited to nominate candidates to receive honorary doctorates from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

Do you have words of inspiration, encouragement, or reflection that you would like to share? Have you ever envisioned yourself speaking to fellow graduates, families, and friends? If so, then this opportunity might be right for you!
