Taking photos from your seats during the ceremony is allowed, but we request that guests respect each other’s comfort and enjoyment by not standing and blocking other people’s views. Photos of graduates can be purchased from GradImages®: gradimages.com or (800) 261-2576. Personalized Keepsake DVDs can be purchased from GradMemory: gradmemory.com or (866) 977-GRAD. The Johns Hopkins University is strongly committed to protecting the environment and practicing sustainability at all of our campuses. Today is no exception. Once again this year’s ceremony will be carbon neutral and zero waste. By using plant-based biodiesel to power the equipment on Homewood Field, we are avoiding fossil fuels and the associated impact on climate change. And since all waste will be composted or recycled, it will go to productive reuse instead of being incinerated. We are also highlighting our sustainability principles during Commencement in other ways: this program is printed on post-consumer recycled-content paper; our caterers are local and specialize in green practices; and most information was posted on the Internet to cut down on printed materials. We invite you to join our efforts to be sustainable by placing your bottles and cans in the green bins and all your food and paper waste in the yellow bins. i Order of Candidate Procession Bachelors – Peabody Bachelors – Nursing Bachelors – Engineering Bachelors – Arts and Sciences Doctors of Education – Education Artist Diplomas and Doctors of Musical Arts – Peabody Doctors of Nursing Practice and Doctors of Philosophy – Nursing Doctor of Science, Doctors of Public Health and Doctors of Philosophy – Public Health Doctors of Philosophy – Advanced International Studies Doctors of Medicine and Doctors of Philosophy – Medicine Doctors of Philosophy – Engineering Doctors of Philosophy – Arts and Sciences Masters, Certificates and Bachelors – Business Masters, Certificates and Bachelors – Education Performance Diplomas and Masters – Peabody Masters – Nursing Masters – Public Health Masters – Advanced International Studies Masters – Medicine Masters and Certificates – Engineering Masters and Certificates – Arts and Sciences iiii Order of Procession Marshals for the Graduates Ruth H.
