We are delighted to have you as our guests at UNCG's 1997 December Commencement Exercises.
Commencement is a very joyous occasion and at the same time a solemn and ancient ritual.
As part of the ceremony today, the name of each of the graduates will be read aloud during the presentation on stage. In keeping with the spirit of Commencement and to make this event even more memorable for you, your graduate, and other guests, we request that extraneous conversations and movement be kept to a minimum while the ceremony is taking place. Arrangements have been made for a professional photographer to take a photo of each graduate as she or he is presented on the platform. All graduates will have an opportunity to order photographs of the diploma presentation after the conclusion of the Commencement exercises. Please refer to the map at the end of this program for location.
