All-University


We invite you to join us for an inspiring celebration to honor this year’s graduates. The All-University Commencement will take place at Nickerson Field (285 Babcock St) and will feature speeches from President Melissa Gilliam, the Commencement Speaker, and the Student Speaker. The ceremony will also include presentations to the Honorary Degree Recipients and Metcalf Award winners, and the conferring of degrees. As part of Boston University’s tradition, the names of the Commencement Speaker, Honorary Degree Recipients, and Metcalf Award winners will be revealed at the annual Senior Breakfast in May.

Graduates of the Class of 2025 will be seated at the All-University Commencement with their respective school/college and recognized collectively. (The school/college convocation is where students will have their names called and the iconic handshake photo is taken.) Eligible graduates are encouraged to attend the All-University Commencement, their respective school/college convocations, and all other weekend events.

Tickets will be required to attend the Nickerson Field ceremony. Information about the ticketing will be forthcoming. The All-University Commencement will include ASL interpretation and closed captioning. For those who cannot attend the in-person ceremony at Nickerson Field, a livestream with CART transcription will be available on our website.
