Congratulations, Class of 2025!
Explore some memorable moments from Commencement Weekend through these photo highlights.

Families and friends filled the Syracuse University campus to show their support for the Class of 2025 throughout Commencement Weekend on May 10-11. This year, over 1,200 students graduated from the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), including 1,137 undergraduates, over 90 master’s students and 49 Ph.D. students. For those who missed any of the ceremonies, the A&S | Maxwell undergraduate Convocation ceremony, the A&S graduate Convocation ceremony and Commencement are available for viewing.
Below, you’ll find a selection of snapshots from the weekend’s festivities celebrating the Class of 2025. We can’t wait to see what you do next, graduates! Congratulations!

The real treasure is the friends we made along the way, as the saying goes.
