BOSTON – The Suffolk University Athletic Department will honor the most recent group of student-athlete graduates on Friday, May 17 at its inaugural Stole Ceremony. The by-invitation event will be held for the graduates and their families and friends at Suffolk University's Law School, Sargent Hall, in the Keches Room, beginning at 3:00 p.m.
A total of 59 Rams are scheduled to graduate, with either their undergraduate or graduate degrees at Suffolk University Commencement Sunday, May 19.
All 19 of Suffolk's NCAA-sanctioned sports, will be represented in the first-ever class to receive a student-athlete stole.
Suffolk University Associate Director of Athletics Adam Skaggs will address the graduates on Friday, as will Suffolk University President Marisa J. Kelly, Suffolk University Hall of Famer and Board of Trustee member Larry Smith, BSBA '65, and Jasmine James, captain of the women's volleyball team.
"We are extremely proud to honor our most recent graduating student-athletes with this stole ceremony," said Director of Athletics Cary McConnell. "This is a special time of year for these young men and women as they reach their goal of achieving a college degree. It is rewarding to share in this celebration with them and their families."
McConnell continued, "We want the stole ceremony to become a cherished and special event for our student-athletes and staff. It gives us a great chance to honor them for reaching this great accomplishment and to congratulate them and wish them well in the next phase of their lives."
The tradition of presenting Suffolk student-athlete graduates with graduation stoles at a special reception will become an annual tradition. The graduation stoles are provided to student-athletes, who complete their degrees as rostered student-athletes, including grad students and fifth-year students, or who have exhausted their athletic eligibility as a Ram and earn their degree, undergraduate or postgraduate, at Suffolk University.
