Invitation to Commencement

March 28, 2022

From: Damali Tolson, Director of Student Life and Chair, Commencement Planning Committee

Dear Colleagues,

On Thursday, May 26, Baruch College will celebrate its 2022 Commencement Exercises at Barclays Center, located at 620 Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. We invite you to participate in the academic procession as we honor our Baruch graduates and their accomplishments on this memorable occasion. Your role in helping our graduates complete their course of study successfully has been integral; it’s only fitting that you participate and bear witness to the joy and pride of the parents, family, and friends of our graduates. Commencement Exercises will begin promptly at 9:30 a.m. The ceremony will include both undergraduate and graduate students.

We also invite interested faculty and staff to participate as Graduation Marshals at the Commencement exercises. The ceremony involves over ten thousand graduates and guests; your presence and assistance on this day is critical. We need your help with guest and degree candidate seating, crowd control, as well as the robing of faculty and students.

To confirm your attendance at commencement, to volunteer as a marshal, and/or to order your academic regalia, please complete this form and submit it no later than Tuesday, April 19 by 11:59 p.m. Commencement regalia is available at no cost to members of the faculty and staff. However, it is important that you place your order no later than Tuesday, April 19 by 11:59 p.m. Unfortunately, we will be unable to take any custom orders after this date. Faculty and/or staff who request academic regalia after the order deadline date of Tuesday, April 19 will be fitted with whatever gowns are available on the day of Commencement at the Barclays Center.

You may pick up your academic regalia in the faculty robing area at Barclays Center on May 26. Please note that regalia will not be available for pick up at the College. All garments must be returned at the conclusion of the ceremony at Barclays Center. Please do not return academic regalia back at the College.

On behalf of the Commencement Planning Committee, we look forward to your participation at Baruch College’s 2022 Commencement Exercises.

Best Wishes,

Damali Tolson
