Student Life at Baruch College has chosen a time (Friday, May 27th at 5:00 PM) for the 2016 Graduation Commencement Ceremony that prevents graduating seniors from attending THEIR OWN graduation.

They have scheduled a time that will conflict with Sabbath observing Jewish students as well as students still taking finals. Graduation is a once in a lifetime experience for many students and their families. It symbolizes the accomplishment and reward for the hard work that students have dedicated as well as the sacrifice of resources and time that their families have devoted for this achievement. These are the candid moments that we deserve to take with our friends, classmates, and families.

The class of 2016 has worked extremely hard to earn their graduation and our voices deserve to be heard!
