Graduation Tales

Do you have a story about your efforts to earn your degree that you want to share with others? Have you overcome unusual circumstances, tried an unusual path to a degree, returned after many years, or are sharing the experience with a family member? We want to hear about it and what it means to you. E-mail your story of about 300 words to Jean Wasp and we will post it to the Graduation Tales web site.

Who

Students who graduated in December 2008 or who have applied for graduation in May 2009 or August 2009 are eligible to walk in the 2009 Commencement Ceremony.

When and Where to Arrive

Graduates report to the processional line-up on the north side of Stevenson Hall. Arrive by 8:15 a.m. for the 9 a.m. ceremony and by 2:15 p.m. for the 3 p.m. ceremony. Look for your school banner.

You will walk to the Commencement Lawn and be seated in the order that you line up. When you are recognized during the ceremony, your name will be read from the ‘green card’ that you fill out in line. You will receive your diploma case at that time.
