Participation
Each year hundreds of graduates, accompanied by thousands of friends and family, fill the Arena for the pinnacle of their SUNY Broome experience. It is a proud moment for our students and for those who worked so closely with them. Our graduates would be pleased to see faculty and staff in attendance honoring their accomplishments.
Faculty and staff are invited to march during the processional and recessional and sit on stage as part of the Platform Party. Regalia is required for those wishing to participate in Commencement.
The graduation processional will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. at the Visions Veterans Memorial Arena. The Platform Party will line up in full regalia at 5:45 p.m. on the ground level of the Arena.
Faculty or staff wishing to participate in Commencement must register as part of the Platform Party using the Faculty/Staff Commencement RSVP form.
