Commencement is almost here, and we’re excited to celebrate the HKS Class of 2026 and their guests!
Graduating students, stop by the Sunshine Lobby anytime during these dates and times to pick up your required Commencement Week items:
- Tuesday, May 26, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
- Wednesday, May 27, 9 a.m.-5 p.m.
At pick up, you will receive:
- Two (2) Morning Exercises tickets for your guests
- Red HKS Commencement 2026 wristbands that you and your guests are required to wear during Commencement Week
- Pre-purchased lunch tickets for your guests, if you purchased them online by Sunday, May 17, 11:59 p.m. ET
While you’re there, help us celebrate not just where you’ve been, but where you’re going next by completing the First Destination Survey. This quick survey helps HKS understand the incredible impact you’ll be making across government, nonprofit, multilateral, private, and entrepreneurial spaces. Your responses help shape how HKS continues to strengthen its programming, advising, and resources for future leaders like you. You will receive an HKS-branded bag tag when picking up your Morning Exercises tickets/HKS Commencement 2026 wristbands as our way of saying thank you!
Come pick up your required Commencement Week items, share your next steps, and let’s kick off celebrating Commencement 2026 together!
