About College Celebrations
In addition to Commencement at Fenway Park, graduates may attend their College Celebration to be individually recognized alongside their peers. During celebrations, graduates cross the stage to be greeted by their dean and have an official graduation photo taken.
College Celebrations will be held at Leader Bank Pavilion, 290 Northern Avenue, Boston, or Blackman Auditorium on Northeastern’s Boston campus.
Rain or shine. In the event of rain, ponchos will be provided to students. Please dress appropriately for New England weather and allow additional time for entry. Traffic in Boston’s Seaport can be unpredictable, particularly during rush hour.
Duration:
Each ceremony will last 2 – 3 hours. Timing depends on a number of variables such as size of college and number of speakers.
The celebrations will be livestreamed on Northeastern Global News.
*Times are subject to change.
Tickets
Each graduate can claim up to 5 guest tickets, unless otherwise noted.
Registration and guest ticket information will be communicated directly to students at a later date.
Guest seating is general admission and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
