Russell Sage College will celebrate our 110th Commencement on Saturday, May 15, 2027 at 10 a.m. at MVP Arena in Albany. Graduates from August 2026, December 2026, May 2027, and anticipated August 2027 and December 2027 graduates who have been approved to “walk” at commencement will be invited to join the celebration. Eligible participants will receive outreach from the Student Life Office around March 1st with more details and the official request to RSVP for the ceremony.
There is no limit on the number of guests that graduates can invite to the ceremony; tickets are not required. In addition, the commencement ceremony will be streamed live online. Professional photographers will be on site to capture the moments as graduates cross and exit the stage, which will be accessible to view and purchase online a few days after the ceremony.
