2011 Barnard Commencement

(Presentation of Degree Candidates)
Tuesday, May 17, 2011
2:30 p.m.
Columbia University’s Francis S. Levien Gymnasium, 120th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenues

View photos from Barnard's 2011 Commencement Ceremony. Watch the full ceremony and other videos. Transcript and video of speech by Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg available here. More transcripts can be viewed here.

UPDATE: Due to the inclement weather, Barnard’s Commencement ceremony will be held at Columbia University’s Francis S. Levien Gymnasium in the Dodge Physical Fitness Center. 

The time of the ceremony, 2:30PM, remains the same; doors will open at noon.  Please enter Levien on 120th Street between Broadway and Amsterdam Avenues.  See map.  The will-call table will be located just outside that entrance. 

A reminder that 120th Street will be closed to traffic so the best drop-off spots will be the southeast and northeast corners of 120th Street and Broadway.  To avoid heavy traffic on Broadway, we also suggest Amsterdam and 120th Street as an alternative drop-off location. 

The locations of post-ceremony receptions on Barnard’s campus will remain the same. 

Faculty should still assemble by 1:30pm in the same location, 1st floor of Barnard Hall.
