We will honor and celebrate the accomplishments of the amazing Hampshire graduates from winter 2025 and spring 2026, and look forward to having families and friends on campus to cheer them on!

Everyone is welcome to commemorate this milestone with us. Because this is their day to celebrate,  seating under the tent will be prioritized for graduates and their friends and families, who will have tickets, along with faculty members and those in need of accessible accommodations. Please plan to arrive early, as there’s no reserved seating. 

Other guests are encouraged to bring a blanket or lawn chair (picnic optional!)

We’ll also have three viewing rooms in Franklin Patterson Hall for anyone who wishes to be indoors. 

Livestream and Video

Commencement will be livestreamed on YouTube, where a full video will be posted after the event.
