Commencement is a very special time for graduates as well as their families and friends alike.
We would like to respect the privilege of each participant to experience his or her graduation without distraction. To that end, we would ask that graduates and guests refrain from any disruptive activities, including bringing alcohol, and request that cell phones and beepers be turned off during the ceremony. At the conclusion of the ceremony, you will march out on a similar path as your entrance. Students may then join family and friends for private celebrations. Prior to the ceremony, you should make arrangements with your guests to meet at a designated location.
