Ceremony
The College of Engineering ceremony will begin promptly with the entry of candidates and the academic procession. Members of the official party will sit on stage. Candidates for degrees and faculty will be seated in chairs on the main floor facing the stage.
The ceremony, which will last approximately two hours, will include short addresses by distinguished speakers, the conferring of degrees by the chancellor and the recessional.
Each graduate will be presented on stage, receive a certificate and then return to his or her seat. You should bring the white 3 x 5 card that was mailed to you with your letter of instruction with your name clearly printed on it to be used for the presentation on stage. The ceremony concludes with a recessional by the stage party and faculty, followed by the graduates.
Specific directions for assembly will be mailed on May 9 to each candidate who registers online.
Reception
Following the ceremony, there will be an outdoor reception on the south side of Recreation Hall for graduates, their families and friends.
