Commencement Weekend, May 23-25, 2025, Schedule and Parking details
Forest Home will probably see a lot of Cornell guests driving through the hamlet between Friday May 23 and Sunday May 25.
Friday is generally a travel day, when many families arrive in town. However, many Colleges and/or Departments have events planned for Friday and on Friday evening there will be a PhD Recognition Ceremony Ceremony for all PhD candidates (6pm – 8pm) and a choral concert in Bailey Hall (8pm – 9:45pm).
Saturday is graduation day. University Commencement Ceremonies are held at 10 am and 2:30 pm in Schoellkopf Stadium for all degree candidates.
More College events may be on Saturday evening or Sunday morning.
To see what graduating students and their guests have been told about parking and the schedule of official events, see:
