Brown’s 257th Commencement
May 23-25, 2025
Commencement is an important milestone for all Brown students — the culmination of their educational journey as undergraduates, graduate or medical students. It’s a time of celebration for many in our community, including graduates, families, friends and alumni. If you are planning to join us in 2025, please consider making arrangements early to ensure the best possible experience.
Check back soon for more information about the weekend’s activities.
Stay Informed
To help ensure parents and families receive all Commencement communications, students should log in to the Banner Self Service web portal and, under Personal Information, check that parent or guardian contact information (particularly email in the My Family tab) is up-to-date. All students, families and guests should add commencement@messages.brown.edu to their contacts so communications do not end up in a spam folder.
International students who want to invite family members to attend Commencement can find the latest guidance on the Office of International Student and Scholar Services (OISSS) resources page.
