Senior Celebration

Senior Celebration will take place Tuesday, May 12 through Friday, May 15, 2026! See below for our schedule of events and ticket information.

Senior Celebration is funded in part thanks to generous Brandeis alumni supporters. Their philanthropic commitment is to ensure Brandeis students have an exciting and engaging end to their senior year ahead of commencement in hopes that the Class of 2026 will give back to support future generations of students as well.
