Welcome to the 2013 Lesley University Commencement website! We are thrilled to be back at the Bank of America Pavilion for the fourth year and hope that you will be able to join us in celebrating all of our graduates at this momentous occasion. Join us on Saturday, May 18, 2013 as we welcome our graduating students into Lesley’s alumni family.
As in past years, there will be two ceremonies on Saturday. At 10:00 am, we honor the students from the Graduate School of Education and the Graduate School of Arts and Social Sciences. At 2:00 pm, we honor students from the College of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies and The Art Institute of Boston. The ceremonies take place at the Bank of America Pavilion on the Boston Waterfront. Tickets are not required for either ceremony and ample seating is available. We look forward to welcoming family and friends at the Pavilion.
The 10:00 am ceremony graduates will be addressed by Honorary Degree recipients Paul Reville, former Secretary of Education for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and a member of the Senior Faculty at the Harvard University Graduate School of Education; and Reverend Liz Walker, an Emmy Award-winning television journalist, documentary film producer, humanitarian and co-founder of My Sister’s Keeper, an advocacy organization for women and children in Sudan.
The 2:00 pm ceremony graduates will be addressed by Honorary Degree recipients Graham Nash, legendary singer-songwriter and co-founder of the Grammy Award-winning group Crosby, Stills & Nash; and David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian and recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian award.
