We’re just a week away from this year’s Commencement! For those of you who are planning to attend or help out with the ceremonies, here is some important information and reminders:  

• Faculty and staff rental regalia for those who ordered it will be available for pick up in the Student Life office (PUB 9301) from Mon. 6/13-Thu. 6/16, or on the day of Commencement from 3024. Please only take the regalia that has your name on it. Regalia must be returned to PUB 9203 on the day of Commencement after the conclusion of the reception. 
   
• Faculty and staff who are participating in the Commencement processional should walk down the ramp in front of the Gym to the line-up area and check-in 45 minutes before their ceremony begins. Faculty and staff participating in both morning and afternoon ceremonies are welcome to join the lunch provided to volunteers at 12:00 p.m. in room 3002. Please note: faculty/staff who are also volunteering in other capacities should have received a separate e-mail with more information about their role. 
   
• Volunteers are still needed to help before, during, and after both ceremonies. There are a variety of available roles that can work around your participating in the ceremony itself, including:

All of these roles have the option of being from 8am-12pm or 12-4pm or both if you’re available/willing to help out during the whole time. Classified staff are encouraged to work with their supervisors to flex their time within the week. Please go to this form if you are available to help out and let us know the roles you’re interested in and the times that you’re available.
