Commencement

Dear Graduating Students, Families, and Friends,

The work that students do throughout their tenure at Springfield College culminates with the conference of bachelor, master, and doctoral degrees. Each year, Springfield College trustees, members of the faculty and staff, and I look forward to celebrating our students’ accomplishments at our annual commencement exercises. This ceremony is a way to honor and mark years of study and preparation, and celebrate the beginning of the next phase of the students’ lives.

Please join us for the 133nd Springfield College Commencement exercises, planned by our Commencement Committee, to be held in Springfield, May 18-19, 2019.

For undergraduate students, seniors will plan and participate in our traditional Baccalaureate program to be held on Saturday, May 18, 2019, at 1:30 p.m. on the campus. Seniors and families alike agree that it is one of our most meaningful events, so I encourage you and your family to attend. Then, the Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony will take place Sunday, May 19, 2019, at 9:30 a.m., at the MassMutual Center in downtown Springfield. 

For graduate students, the Graduate Commencement Ceremony (including the hooding of all doctoral candidates) will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2019, at 9:30 a.m. on the campus. Learn about pre-commencement events.

These events do not require tickets, so we hope that you will invite your families and friends to share in your celebration weekend. Information on each event, as well as relevant telephone numbers appear in the Commencement Guide as well as on these webpages. Please carefully review this information and call us if you have any questions.

We look forward to celebrating with you in May and honoring the triumphs of our graduating scholars.

Sincerely,

Mary-Beth A. Cooper, PhD, DM
