Black Student Graduation Celebration

 Celebrating the Black Graduates of the Class of 2025!

The CUNY School of Professional Studies Black Student Union (BSU) invites all Black graduates from the Fall of 2024 through Spring 2025 to take part in the 2025 Black Graduation Ceremony.

• Date: Thursday, May 15, 2025
• Time: Ceremony begins at 6:30 PM, Eastern
• Format: This event is offered in a hybrid format so that all who wish to participate may do so. On-campus attendance will be limited based on public safety and fire code regulations. Online attendance will take place via Zoom. All registered graduates will be sent the link to the online ceremony.
• Location: The on campus ceremony will take part at the CUNY School of Professional Studies, 119 W. 31st Street, 4th Floor, New York City. The ceremony will be streamed live for those taking part online.
• On Campus Guests: While we would love to welcome all of our graduates’ friends and family to attend the ceremony, on campus attendance will be limited based on public safety and fire code regulations. The BSU and Student Life are monitoring the registration, and will follow up with graduates to confirm the number of guests who may attend on campus. Students are currently allowed to bring two guest each.
• Accessibility: The event will include American Sign Language interpreters and live captioning for those attending on campus as well as online. If other accommodations are needed, you can let us know about those when you register.

Please note: Registering for the Black Graduation Ceremony does not register you for the CUNY SPS Commencement ceremony, and vice versa.
