University at Buffalo

Amherst, NY (WBEN) - University at Buffalo graduates will be able to walk across the stage this spring.

On Wednesday, the college announced plans for in-person, outdoor commencement ceremonies to be held April 30 through May 16 at UB Stadium and another outdoor space on the North Campus to be named later. Seventeen commencement ceremonies will be held over the three-week period.


Under current state guidelines on the size of gatherings, seating capacity within UB Stadium will be 2,900. Under normal conditions the capacity is 29,000. UB's second outdoor venue is expected to seat about 500.

More than 9,000 students are expected to earn degrees from UB this academic year, with as many as 6,000 choosing to participate in commencement ceremonies this spring. A decision on whether guests will be permitted to attend will be made at a later date.
