Commencement 2023!
The crowd was near capacity at the MassMutual Center in Springfield to see over 700 ¼«ËÙÁùºÏ²Ê undergraduates and graduates receive their degrees. The May 7 event was preceded by a week of traditional celebrations, including the ever-popular Strawberries and Champagne, Physician Assistant Graduation, and the Doctoral Hooding.
At the 126th Commencement, the University was honored to bestow an honorary doctor of humane letters upon Helen Caulton-Harris, commissioner of the Division of Health and Human Services for the city of Springfield and the first Black woman to hold that title.
