Stevens Old Guard Alumni at Commencement 2026

Old Guard at Commencement with President Farvardin

During this year's undergraduate Commencement procession on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, Stevens will continue its annual tradition of honoring the members of our Old Guard classes, including this year's Golden Reunion Class, 1976. Dressed in full graduation regalia, Old Guard alumni will join the procession and get reserved, upfront seating during the Undergraduate Commencement Ceremony where they will be celebrated with members of the current graduating class.

Old Guard participants should expect to arrive no later than 8 a.m. to get situated and dressed in regalia (provided onsite) and eat breakfast. The processional will begin at 9 a.m. and the ceremony will begin shortly after 9:30 a.m. Participants are welcome to invite one guest to join them at the ceremony, which is expected to be approximately 2.5 hours in duration.

Please note that registration for Old Guard participation closes on April 6 to provide enough lead time to order regalia. No late registrations will be accepted.
