Commencement ’15

Saturday, December 19, 2015 • 3 p.m. • College Park Center

the university of texas at arlington “COMMENCEMENT CEREMONIES REPRESENT A BOND BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR ALMA MATER THAT CANNOT BE BROKEN, A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS NEVER-ENDING, AND A MUTUAL PRIDE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO GROW THROUGHOUT TIME.”

—UT Arlington President Vistasp M. Karbhari

Commencement ceremonies are celebratory events, and audiences are encouraged to support family members and friends as their accomplishments are recognized on stage. However, overzealous displays exhibit a lack of courtesy for the speaker and disrespect for the occasion and its participants. Individuals who disrupt the ceremony by screaming, shouting, or using noisemakers may be asked to leave. Thank you for your cooperation.

52 • The University of Texas at Arlington “COMMENCEMENT CEREMONIES REPRESENT A BOND BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR ALMA MATER THAT CANNOT BE BROKEN, A RELATIONSHIP THAT IS NEVER-ENDING, AND A MUTUAL PRIDE THAT WILL CONTINUE TO GROW THROUGHOUT TIME.”

—UT Arlington President Vistasp M. Karbhari

Commencement ceremonies are celebratory events, and audiences are encouraged to support family members and friends as their accomplishments are recognized on stage. However, overzealous displays exhibit a lack of courtesy for the speaker and disrespect for the occasion and its participants. Individuals who disrupt the ceremony by screaming, shouting, or using noisemakers may be asked to leave. Thank you for your cooperation.
