Due to the fluidity of coronavirus, and as we must comply with the state’s regulations on large gatherings, we have determined that holding Commencement in the summer or fall of 2020 is just not possible. We are now looking to celebrate the Class of 2020 in person and on campus during the weekend of May 22, 2021, our commitment to commend this year’s graduates remains the same.
Class of 2020 graduates will receive an email from the Office of the Registrar to arrange shipment and distribution of diplomas and official diploma covers. Further details related to the May 2021 Commencement celebration will be released as we await guidance from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

To help celebrate the Class of 2020, we have launched a new initiative called “Congratulate a Graduate.” We will share these messages on our website and social media.
Sharable banner graphics for Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for our soon-to-be graduates, proud parents, guardians, and extended family members are now available.
The top question I have received over the past three months is related to rescheduling Commencement, as I have committed to hosting this momentous occasion in-person with all the pomp and circumstance the Class of 2020 deserves. We continue to await recommendations and requirements from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and our local municipality regarding the regulations surrounding large gatherings. I hope to receive that guidance soon and then review options with the College’s Board of Trustees in June.
