Greetings!

Thank you for visiting the Commencement website. We hope that these pages answer any questions you have about MIT's most important annual event, but if not, please email commencement@mit.edu, or call the Information Center at 617-253-4795.

We have a section of information about campus changes during Commencement week. Community members may want to visit that page closer to June, when we post notices about parking garage closures or building access issues.

We would never be able to pull off a beautiful Commencement without the help of the MIT community. We have opportunities for volunteers at both the Hooding Ceremony and Commencement. Potential volunteers should note that the MIT senior administration supports and encourages staff participation in Commencement and your supervisor can answer payroll-related questions about volunteering for either event. Each year, hundreds of staff and students volunteer their time to make the day great for the graduates and their families. Thank you! It makes all the difference.

Professor W. Eric Grimson, Chair of the Commencement Committee

Ms. Gayle Gallagher, Executive Officer for Commencement
