Commencement

Given the rising COVID-19 caseloads in Massachusetts, across the country, and in some parts of the world, we know that we will need to continue to be vigilant this winter and spring, and we are prepared to adjust the College’s public health protocols as required. At the same time, we are optimistic that given the wide availability of boosters and our successful approach to health and safety, we will be able to host a celebration on May 27 that will include an in-person event with families and friends. Guests will likely be required to upload proof of full vaccination (including boosters), and most activities will be outdoors. At this time, we do not anticipate that we will need to limit the number of guests.

We will continue to monitor the public health situation, and we plan to communicate our final decisions by early March.

Congratulations to the December graduates!
