Many of the Class of 2026 started at BU with Matriculation on Labor Day weekend in 2022. Then President Robert A. Brown welcomed students in his Matriculation address to "what we are hopeful will be a near-normal year on our campus, even with COVID-19 still with us."
Boston University is holding the weekend of May 14-17, 2026 for the 153rd Commencement to celebrate the Class of 2026. Details about Commencement 2026 will start to roll out in the fall 2025 semester.
