34 To Our Guests Commencement is the premier academic ceremony. This formal conferral of degrees marks the graduates’ mastery of SIUE curricula – undergraduate, graduate, doctoral and professional. At its best, it is an occasion of dignity, recognition and celebration. To preserve the decorum of the event, please exercise etiquette appropriate for the occasion and express your excitement in ways that will not prevent others from hearing the speakers and enjoying the ceremony. The University requests that all photographs be taken from your seat or following the ceremony.

For your convenience, we have made arrangements with Grad Images™ for a professional photographer to record the moment graduates receive their diploma covers. Students receive by mail a passport‑sized, full‑color image approximately one week after the ceremony. There is no obligation to purchase, and students will have the option of ordering several enlargement packages via web site, phone, facsimile, or mail. This service enables each student to have a photograph of the ceremony. Family members and friends are requested to remain in their seats and enjoy the ceremony. Professional photographs are available for all students. Grad Trak Graduation Images™ guarantees complete satisfaction with the photographs or a full refund will be given with no questions asked. The transaction is between the student and the photographer; SIUE will not be involved.

In keeping with the occasion, we ask that all guests stand when the processional begins. After the ceremony has been completed, there will be a recessional of the platform party. Please remain in your seats until the platform party has cleared the Commencement area. Congratulations on your graduation and welcome to the SIUE Alumni Association! As you celebrate this milestone, please consider the fact that you are now among more than 95,000 individuals who can proudly call themselves alumni of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Upon your graduation, you automatically become a member of the SIUE Alumni Association, an organization established in 1972 and dedicated to assist you in building upon the relationships and history you created here as a student. The Association offers a wealth of benefits to help you succeed personally and professionally. Our mission statement reads: The SIUE Alumni Association will be a valued partner of Southern Illinois University Edwardsville through the advancement and promotion of SIUE alumni, the University and its friends. In a few short weeks you will receive your Association Membership card and other materials which are the key to unlocking those benefits mentioned only briefly here. In the meantime, I invite you to visit our website at siue.edu/alumni to learn more about the benefits and opportunities derived from being part of the SIUE Alumni Association, as together we work to Engage, Educate and Empower Cougars for Life.
