To ACPHS Community,

We are looking forward to celebrating the achievements of our Class of 2022 at this year's Commencement ceremony. The planning and preparations are underway, and here are the details we have thus far:

Our 142nd Commencement will be held on Saturday, May 14, 2022 at 1:00 p.m. at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) in Saratoga Springs, NY. Here is information on directions and parking.

Graduates may invite as many guests as they like to Commencement. There are no tickets required for the event as there is ample seating for everyone. Seating is General Admission and guests will be able to enter SPAC

at 11:30 a.m. Graduates are required to be at SPAC at 11:30 a.m.

SPAC meets federal accessibility guidelines for individuals with disabilities. Please email requests and questions about accommodations to Patty Tompkins, ACPHS Events Manager, at Patricia.Tompkins@acphs.edu or call her at (518) 694-7123.

We will be hosting a reception for graduates and their guests immediately following Commencement on the lawn of the Hall of Springs under a tent. Light refreshments will be served.

We will also be live streaming Commencement for those unable to attend. More details on how to view the live stream will be sent closer to the event.

Due to the decrease in COVID transmission, SPAC currently does not have any health and safety requirements to attend Commencement. As stated on their website, "SPAC will continue to monitor local COVID-19 trends and meet or exceed protocols mandated by local governments." We will continue to closely monitor the rate of community transmission and SPAC's requirements and promptly inform you if anything changes.

We will continue to provide updates on Commencement as more details are finalized. Information is also provided on our Commencement web page. If you have questions in the meantime, you can email Patty Tompkins at Patricia.Tompkins@acphs.edu or call her at (518) 694-7123.

We are looking forward to celebrating the hard-earned achievements and resilience of our Class of 2022.
