Senior Celebration
We are proud to celebrate the graduates of the Class of 2026.
The Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) will host its Senior Celebration on Friday, May 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in the Mullins Center.
During Commencement Weekend 2026, there are two separate events for graduates of our undergraduate degree programs and their families: the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences Senior Celebration and the Undergraduate Commencement on Friday, May 15. We hope you will plan on attending both events to send off the Class of 2026 and celebrate their achievements.
If you have questions about the CICS Senior Celebration, please email commencement [at] cs [dot] umass [dot] edu (commencement[at]cs[dot]umass[dot]edu).
