172nd Commencement Ceremony Of The City College Of New York
Please join us as The City College of New York celebrates our annual all-graduate commencement on May 30, 2025.
This year, in addition to our main commencement event on Friday, May 30, 2025, we will also host Graduate-Level events, including a Ph.D. hooding ceremony, on May 28, 2025, in the Great Hall of Shepard Hall.
City College, originally known as The Free Academy, held its first Commencement in 1853 with a graduating class of just 17, and we continue to adhere to the history — and the stage set by those first graduates in 1853.
We salute the graduates from all the different schools and divisions of The City College of New York, and we look forward to seeing them follow in the footsteps of thousands of alumni who have made a difference in the community, the city, the country, and the world.
