The Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences (CICS) will host its Senior Celebration on Saturday, May 14, 2022, at 3:30 p.m. in the UMass Amherst Recreation Center.
During UMass Amherst graduation weekend, there are two separate events for graduates and families: Undergraduate Commencement (Fri., May 13) and the Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences Senior Celebration (Sat., May 14). We hope you will plan on attending both events to send off the Class of 2022 and celebrate their achievements.
The University of Massachusetts Amherst looks forward to celebrating the graduates of the Class of 2022 and welcoming their friends and families to campus. As cases of COVID-19 are increasing in Massachusetts and nationally, we know that our commencement events draw thousands from all over. To protect yourself and others, we strongly encourage all graduates and guests to wear a face-covering when attending any indoor commencement events, regardless of vaccination status.
