Graduation 2026

Please join us for Graduation on the lawn in front of 77 Sherman St. The procession of graduates, faculty, and board members will begin promptly at 3 p.m. with a reception to follow the ceremony. We encourage friends and family to arrive no later than 2:30 p.m. to secure parking and find a seat under the tent. Graduates are asked to arrive at 2:15 p.m. to report to their robing rooms at 77 Sherman St.

Our graduation speaker this year will be Dr. Lucinda Mosher, Professor of Interreligious Studies, Director of the MA in Interreligious Studies, and Senior Editor of the Journal of Interreligious Studies. 

Parking will be in HIU lots and designated areas, as well as on several neighborhood streets where parking is unrestricted. A livestream will be broadcast to the HIU Facebook page.

We look forward to seeing graduates, their family and friends, students, alumni, and special guests. All are welcome!

If you need special accommodations to attend the ceremony, please email Joseph Chung, events coordinator, at jchung@hartfordinternational.edu
