BROOKLYN COLLEGE— The Brooklyn College Class of 2026 will not walk across the stage during commencement this year, according to the Frequently Asked Questions page for the commencement ceremony and an email sent by The Division of Student Affairs.
Undergraduate Student Government president Cyle Paul sent out an email expressing his disappointment on April 23.
“What makes this even more frustrating is the lack of clear and timely communication to you all, especially with commencement right around the corner,” stated Paul.
The change in programming stems from a scheduling conflict, according to the Brooklyn College Administration. The Barclays Center is scheduled to host a second graduation the same day at 4:30 p.m., leaving Brooklyn College to finish its annual commencement at 12 p.m. The second graduation will be for the City University of New York School of Professional Studies.
