Congratulations on your graduation! While this past semester hasn’t worked out in the way we envisioned, it is time to celebrate your accomplishments as a graduating Buff.

Don’t miss the livestreamed commencement ceremony

Chancellor DiStefano invites you to join the livestreamed commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 16, at noon. The chancellor also invites you and your families to return to campus in spring 2021, when we can fully celebrate our class of 2020 with special recognition events, including the traditional procession in commencement regalia from Norlin Quad to Folsom Field.

CU Boulder alumnus Dan Carlin (Hist’89), described as the king of long-form podcasting and host of the show Hardcore History, will deliver the commencement address remotely.

Share your photos, social media

We want to celebrate with you! Be sure to share your celebrations with us and use #ForeverBuffs wherever you post on social media.

Celebrate in style with regalia
