Commencement Schedule of Events 2024

Senior Week Activities

Campus Life invites you to join your classmates for a week of fun leading up to commencement. Details will be shared with graduates in the spring.

Latinx Graduation Celebration

In 2023, Berklee launched its first Latinx graduation celebration, honoring the graduating students of Latinx and Hispanic diaspora to gather and celebrate their culture, journey and achievements in the community. The 2024 Latinx Graduation Celebration will be held on Wednesday, May 8 at 8:00 p.m. in Seully Hall (8 Fenway). For more information contact Malachi Robinson.

Lavender Commemoration

Launched in 2019, Lavender is a gathering that honors LGBTQ+ graduates and was initiated by Berklee students who had a vision and desire to celebrate their journeys and achievements in community. Lavender 2024 will be held on Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 p.m. in T401 (31 Hemenway). For more information contact Malachi Robinson.

Jabulani 2024

Jabulani is a Zulu word meaning "rejoice." As the current academic journeys of our African, Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Latinx, Black, and African American College and Conservatory graduates come to an end, we collectively rejoice. Jabulani was envisioned by two 2019 Black graduating seniors who endeavored to create a culminating "rite of passage" experience grounded in an African aesthetic that equally represented the creative excellence of Berklee College of Music and Boston Conservatory at Berklee. Jabulani 2024 will held on Friday, May 10 at 10:00 a.m. in the Main Stage Theater (31 Hemenway). Jabulani is produced and hosted by the Africana Studies Division.
