This luncheon has been arranged to accommodate our graduates and their families as well as our faculty and staff to avoid the hassle of over crowded restaurants or unavailable reservations in the area. Floor seating is reserved for the graduates, faculty and guests with disabilities. The procession of faculty, staff and graduates will come through the north doors of Huff Hall. The procession will be led by a faculty member banner carrier, followed by Dean Gallagher and her staff, followed by faculty and graduates from Speech and Hearing Science, Community Health, Leisure Studies and Kinesiology, in that order. Faculty and graduates will be guided to reserved floor seating where they will remain standing until asked to be seated.
Convocation ceremony begins following completion of the procession.
There will be a few short speeches and presentations after which your graduate will walk across the stage, receive a diploma cover and be congratulated. Upon leaving the stage, your graduate will return back to their seat. We ask your cooperation by remaining with us until the last graduate has received the recognition deserved. A professional photography service, Graduation Foto, will be present at the Convocation ceremony to photograph all graduates as they are congratulated. To facilitate the work of Graduation Foto, we ask that you remain seated and not approach the stage or ramp areas during the ceremony.
