Commencement
Commencement is a time-honored tradition that celebrates the achievements, perseverance, and growth of our graduating students. After years of learning, service, leadership, and discovery, the Springfield College Class of 2026 will gather with family, friends, faculty, and staff to mark this important milestone.
Rooted in the College’s Humanics philosophy—educating students in spirit, mind, and body for leadership in service to others—Commencement recognizes not only academic accomplishment but also the character and purpose our graduates carry into the world.
