Each graduate will be given one appreciation ribbon to present to the person who has supported him or her throughout college. Those who receive a ribbon or ribbons are asked to stand during the ceremony to be recognized. Each student is issued four tickets for relatives or friends to attend. Ticket quantities are being limited this year to give all students an opportunity to have guests attend. Those not planning to use all four should contact Carol Morrison, Student Records director, so that the extras can be given to students with large families.
Appropriate attire is coat and tie for men and dress or suit for women.
A reception afterward is planned. The Fort Myers and Naples resource centers have some changes and updated resources. Aside from the usual text additions, both centers have replaced most of the computer mouses with tracking balls. Wrist pads in front of the terminals make it less stressful on the wrist when the student is at the computer. One of the computers in each library has a regular mouse to give students a preference about which one works better for them.
