Dear Colleagues,
On Monday, June 1, Baruch College will celebrate its 2026 Commencement Ceremony 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 our graduates successfully completing their course of study has been integral, therefore it is only fitting that you participate and bear witness to the joy and pride of the parents, family and friends of our graduates. The Commencement Ceremony will begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.
The ceremony will consist of both undergraduate and graduate students.
We also invite interested faculty and staff to participate as Graduation Marshals at the Commencement Ceremony. 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.
If you sign up to be a marshal, you will be sent further information at a later date.
To confirm your attendance at commencement, to volunteer as a marshal, and/or to order your academic regalia, please complete the form using the link below and submit it by 10 a.m., April 30, 2026. Commencement faculty regalia rental is available at no cost to members of the faculty and staff. We will be unable to take any custom orders after 10 a.m., April 30. The order form will remain open until 9 a.m., May 20, but faculty and staff who request academic regalia after April 30 will be fitted from the extra regalia available on the day of Commencement at Barclays Center.
ORDER YOUR REGALIA / SIGN UP TO BE A MARSHAL
Academic Regalia Pick-Up. You may pick up your academic regalia in the faculty robing area at Barclays Center on June 1. Please note that regalia will not be available for pick-up at the College.
All garments must be returned to the robing area 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 2026 Commencement Ceremony.
