Massachusetts Athletics celebrates graduates of the Commonwealth's Flagship campus

University of Massachusetts Athletics congratulates the over 6,500 undergraduate and graduate students having degrees conferred during Commencement exercises on Thursday and Friday, May 13-14. A graduate commencement ceremony will take place at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 13, followed by a slate of undergraduate ceremonies on Friday, May 14. All will take place at McGuirk Alumni Stadium.

All ceremonies will be livestreamed on the UMass website.

Head hockey coach Greg Carvel, who led Massachusetts to the 2021 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey National Championship, will be the commencement speaker at the undergraduate ceremonies. Carvel, the 2019 Spencer Penrose Award winner and 2021 Spencer Penrose runner-up for national coach of the year, earned his master's degree in sport management from UMass in 1998.

A team-by-team list of graduating student-athletes follows. As a result of remaining athletic eligibility, select student-athletes listed below anticipate returning to campus and competing during the 2021-22 academic year.
