HAMBURG, N.Y. – Today marks a special occasion at Hilbert College as we take a final moment to celebrate our Hilbert Hawks on campus. Tomorrow, we'll gather once more to cheer on the senior class as they walk across the stage to receive their diplomas from President Michael Brophy.

The Athletics Department extends its warmest congratulations to our seniors, who will officially graduate on Friday, May 9th. We are incredibly grateful for the contributions these student-athletes have made to their teams and to the Hilbert College Athletics Department. Many of them navigated the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic throughout their academic and athletic journeys. Despite these obstacles, they have persevered and are now achieving the ultimate goal of any Hilbert College student—earning their degree.

As you watch our graduates, take note of the special blue and gold cords they will be wearing. These cords were generously provided by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee in recognition of their hard work and dedication.

Congratulations Seniors!
