Volunteers needed to assist at Undergraduate Commencement Vol. Volunteers needed to assist at Undergraduate Commencement olunteers are needed to serve as marshals or aides for the 2001 Undergraduate Commencement on Sunday, May 27. Marshals assist by organizing graduates according to their appropriate school or college for the student processional.
Aides greet guests, distribute programs, and help guests locate seating and other services.
Veteran volunteers have noted this to be a very enjoyable experience. New volunteers are especially encouraged to participate. A few changes are planned for this year, which planners hope will result in a ceremony with more pageantry and pride for the graduates. In order to be successful, about 60 marshals and 50 aides are needed, nearly double the number of volunteers in past years. There will be an orientation for volunteers on Friday, May 18 at 10 a.m. in Mahar Auditorium.
