Commencement Celebration

Congratulations 2023 graduates!  Photo proofs have been sent via email and/or text from Ultimate Exposures.  If you did not receive your proofs (and they are not in your email spam folder), please email the vendor noting the university, college, and student's name: support [at] ultimateexposures [dot] com.

Commencement is a special time to celebrate our graduating students and their educational journey. Each of our soon-to-be graduates should be incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication that has brought them to this meaningful and joyous milestone.

While not required, the university and college would appreciate a registration for either or both ceremonies—just so that we can plan.  No tickets will be issued, and there is no limit placed on the number of guests you can bring.  Register today.

Congratulations Class of 2023!

If you have any questions about the college's celebration, please email coeadvising [at] umass [dot] edu.
