We want your graduation day to run as smoothly as possible, so as the Faculty Marshals, we are providing some basic instructions in this email and we invite you to attend a graduation rehearsal on Wednesday, May 15th at 5:00 p.m. in Francis Auditorium. Where do I go graduation morning? Arrive at Hunt Dining Hall (only students may enter) • Graduate Students: Go to Hunt East (up the right side of stairs) • Undergraduate Students: Go to Hunt West (up the left side of stairs) What if I have mobility issues? • The procession and recession require students to climb and descend a lot of steps. The lines of graduates move at a moderate pace but they do keep moving. If you have difficulties with stairs, you can join the line of graduates at the base of the steps OR you may request reserved seating near the podium. • Contact Dr. Amy Diduch at [email protected] to discuss your needs. What do I wear? • Arrive already robed. The bathrooms will be too crowded to use as a dressing room. • Listen to weather reports and dress appropriately. • Wear shoes that are comfortable for you to walk in up and down stairs. • Keep in mind that you could be sitting for two hours in the direct sun – make sure that you are hydrated. (Sunglasses may be worn). How do I put on my regalia? • The hood goes over your head with the white velvet facing outwards and the yellow and white silk facing inwards. • The cap sits straight / flat on your head.
