The Class of 2020 Recognition Event is a formal recognition of your achievements, including the calling of each graduate to the stage to be hooded by faculty. Academic dress is required for all graduates.

A Class of 2020 Reception will take place immediately following; brunch will be served according to COVID-19 safety protocols.

All graduates and guests must have completed registration, as this is a ticketed event.

Mask Requirement

During the Recognition Event from 10:00AM-11:00AM, all attendees must wear a mask. Please make sure to inform your guests of this requirement.

Parking

  • Parking is challenging in the South End (as you are probably aware). There will be some parking available in the 710 Albany Street Garage (with a flat rate of $8), in addition to the usual street parking. We highly recommend that you/your guests consider parking on the Charles River Campus and take the BU Shuttle over to the MED Campus. The shuttle runs on Saturdays from 6:30AM-7:00PM with 30 minute service.
