Share a Student's Graduation Tales

Grads

The University Affairs Division is looking for story ideas about SSU's Class of 2009.

Do you know of students who are part of a family affair of graduates, e.g., a parent/child combo? Did a student who created a one-of-a-kind major? Did they earn multiple degrees? Getting a dream job? Perhaps they overcame difficult odds?

E-mail these stories to jean.wasp@sonoma.edu and they be will posted to the Graduation Tales website which will be linked from the SSU homepage. Stories may also be passed along to the news media so please include a name, e-mail address and phone number.

Henry RollinsThe 2009 Commencement keynote speaker is Grammy award-winning singer, actor, activist and former front-man of punk rock band Black Flag, Henry Rollins. Commencement is Sat., May 23 with ceremonies at 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

The success of the day depends entirely on the good work of employees of SSU; those people who interact and support students throughout their years at Sonoma State. Below are the expectations for staff employees on Commencement day:

• All managers (MPP) are expected to work Commencement, for half days, either morning or afternoon. Preferences will be accommodated as much as possible. MPPs who are unable to work Commencement should seek approval from their manager and let Bonnie Cormier know as soon as possible.

• Exempt staff (non-MPPs) are encouraged to work Commencement. Managers of exempt staff may authorize informal time off in accordance with staff bargaining contracts. Contact Bonnie Cormier at bonnie.cormier@sonoma.edu or call 4-2158 with availability and job preference as soon as possible.
