I hope that you are doing well. The Commencement Committee has been busy finalizing details for Commencement Weekend. We hope that you are getting excited for your graduation. Can you believe that we are just about one month away?!?

I would like to share a few timely and important details with you:

1.      Commencement Tickets: Later today you will receive an email which will be sent to your Curry College student email address from email@inviteright.com. This email will appear with the name “Student Affairs” and contains the link to order your digital Commencement tickets. Please click here for overview instructions to help prepare you for ordering tickets for your guests. Please note that graduates do not need a ticket to enter the Xfinity Center. Graduates may order tickets for their guests until May 19, 2023. Individual guest seats are not assigned, but are designated as either Pavilion or Open Air seating.

2.      Commencement Hotline: The Commencement Hotline has been activated. We ask that each graduating student call the Commencement Hotline at 617-391-5253 and follow the prompts to record how you would like your name pronounced as you walk across the stage. This recording will be used by the team who reads names of graduates during the ceremony.
