Framingham State 2022 Commencement

"My mom was an alumna of FSU, so she encouraged me to tour the university and look into programs that interested me. Right from the start of my college search, I was looking into Pre-Law programs that would put me at a head start for my career path. Framingham State's Political Science and Pre-Law track has given me the chance to not only learn, but grow into myself as a student. I have been able to take classes that not only interest me, but will help me become a better student when I attend law school next fall as part of the 3+3 Pre-Law program." -- Rachel S. '22

"From the start of my college experience at FSU, I made it a priority to be career-driven and make the best out of the opportunities I was offered. I knew the fashion industry was competitive and was determined to optimize my time here. Today I look back at my freshman self and little did I know that FSU would become a place of discovery, growth and opportunity." -- Lorena F. '22

"As a patrol officer, I knew that if I wanted to someday climb the ranks within the department I would have to obtain a higher degree. The Master of Public Administration gave me a comprehensive understanding of the leadership and organizational skills necessary to manage an organization like a police department through times of change and into the future. The MPA also provided me with knowledge I can leverage in my position now to better serve the community." -- Ryan P., G'21

Students, families and alumni enjoyed a weekend of fun - from the carnival to the scavenger hunt and athletic games.
