In the foreground, rows of graduates wearing black caps and gowns with green accents sit facing a raised stage. Some graduates have decorative caps or accessories. The stage runs across the right side of the image and is lined with green ferns and floral arrangements. On the stage, a group of officials in academic regalia sit in a row, while one speaker stands at a podium delivering remarks. Behind the stage is a large green backdrop repeatedly printed with “BABSON COLLEGE” and the college seal, along with a large screen displaying the speaker. An American flag stands near the stage, and lighting and sound equipment hang from the tent ceiling above.
