Commencement
Johns Hopkins Commencement

Volunteers

Commencement is an exciting event where we get to celebrate our graduates’ achievements with them and their families and friends. The Class of 2025 will graduate on Thursday, May 22 on the Homewood Field from 9 a.m. – noon.  In the event of inclement weather, the ceremony will be postponed until Friday, May 23, from 9 a.m. – noon.  

The evening before the Commencement ceremony, Wednesday, May 21, the annual Senior Toast takes place from 8 pm – 10 pm on Keyser Quad. This event is for all JHU undergraduates and their families to come together one last time on the Homewood Campus to celebrate their accomplishments! In case of severe weather, this event will be canceled.

These events require many volunteers to create positive and lasting memories for our graduates and their families. We hope that you will make time in your schedules to join us and volunteer at one or both events. In addition, please share this email with anyone you think may be interested in volunteering.

Volunteer Training will be held on Thursday, May 15 from 9-10 a.m. and 2-3 p.m. It is important that you try to attend one of the sessions.

If you have questions, please get in touch with Liz Ganze, [email protected]
