One ticket will be required for each guest for admission to the tent. A maximum of six tickets will be given to each candidate to be used for seating under the tent. Tickets can be picked up by prospective graduates from Monday, May 7 through Friday, May 11, between noon and 4 p.m. in the Millea Hall lobby. In addition, tickets will also be available at Senior Week Registration. Candidates are welcome to bring as many guests as they wish to view the exercises from outside the tent.
Visibility is good and the sound system is excellent.
In the event of severe rain, only the four tickets marked RAIN will be accepted for seating. A professional photographer will take a picture of each graduate receiving a diploma. So that families can have an unobstructed view of the Babson Commencement, anyone wishing to photograph a graduate crossing the stage must use the designated photo area, take the photo, and return immediately to his or her seat. Reception A reception for bachelor's degree graduates and guests will take place immediately following the Commencement Ceremony in the Staake Gymnasium, located on the lower level of the Webster Center. A tradition has been established to allow faculty, administrators, undergraduates, and fellow graduates to send congratulatory notes and cards to be placed in the tent on the graduates' chairs.
