Letter from the President<\/h2>\n

\"RamapoDear Ramapo College Graduate,<\/p>\n

On behalf of the Ramapo College Board of Trustees, faculty, staff, and alumni, congratulations, Class of 2026!<\/p>\n

Today marks the culmination of your academic journey\u2014and the beginning of everything that comes next. The past few years were not easy. You showed resilience. You showed determination. You made your mark. Take a moment to breathe it in and celebrate what you\u2019ve achieved.<\/p>\n

As you step forward, be bold. Be kind. Be great teammates.<\/p>\n

Be bold enough to step outside your comfort zone and stay curious about the people, histories, and ideas around you. Be kind enough to listen, stay humble, and keep learning\u2014because none of us ever has all the answers. Be great teammates who build community through empathy, respect, and connection.<\/p>\n

Each of you will make a unique impact on the world. I look forward to hearing your stories and celebrating your successes for years to come.<\/p>\n

Congratulations, Roadrunner!<\/p>\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n

Cindy R. Jebb, Ph.D.
\nPresident<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n

Guest Information<\/h2>\n

Welcome to Ramapo College\u2019s 2026 Commencement Ceremony!<\/p>\n

The audience is requested to stand during the Processional, the National Anthem,<\/em> and the Alma Mater<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Out of respect for all graduates, remain seated until the conclusion of the ceremony<\/strong>. The ceremony will officially conclude after the Recessional, which includes the graduates\u2019 exit from the arena floor.<\/p>\n

Graduates will be directed to exit Prudential Center via the Citizens Tower and Box Office entrance. Graduates and Guests should plan to meet on Mulberry Street or Championship Plaza.<\/p>\n

Safety:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Prudential Center does not allow guests to stand in aisles or by railings. If you are in one of\u00a0 these areas, you will be asked to move. We appreciate your cooperation with this policy.<\/p>\n

Photographs:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A professional photographer will photograph graduates as they greet President Jebb on stage and as they pose off stage. Within three days of the ceremony, graduates will receive both a secure link to view their photos online and hardcopy paper proofs in the mail. Contact Island Photography at 1-800-869-0908 or Custserv@islandphoto.com<\/a> with questions.<\/p>\n

A portion of the proceeds from the photography sales support the Class of 2026 Graduation Legacy Drive<\/a>, a time-honored Ramapo tradition that unites the graduating class in supporting The Fund for Ramapo College. Proceeds enable the College to attract and retain its most valuable assets \u2014 the students and faculty. Student scholarships, faculty fellowships, student\/faculty research grants, and special College projects are some of the initiatives funded through The Fund for Ramapo College.
