Commencement Programs

Starting in 2022, Simmons adopted a more environmentally friendly approach to our Commencement programs. On the day of the Commencement ceremonies, you'll receive a short program with the order of exercises and some information about the speaker. This program will contain a link/QR code to a mobile-friendly digital listing of Simmons graduates on the Simmons website. A full PDF of the names will also be available for the Undergraduate Program and the Graduate Program.
