Each year, we honor and celebrate the academic achievements of our undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education students as they close their Muhlenberg College chapter and take the first steps on the journey that awaits them next.

Muhlenberg graduates inspire and impact whatever field they choose to pursue and are forever a part of a network of fellow alumni who make a difference every day.

Muhlenberg’s commencement ceremony is a joyous celebration of the achievements and hard work of our graduating students. Held at the expansive and fully accessible PPL Center in Allentown, this event offers families and friends the opportunity to see their loved ones mark a momentous occasion they will never forget.

Congratulations, Class of 2025!
