Upon entering the Arena, the lines will be directed to the appropriate entry to the seating area on the Arena floor. Marshals will lead the central two columns into the Arena and up the center aisle. The two outside columns will move up the outside aisles. All columns will be directed into the seating areas. Remain standing until the grand marshal calls the Commencement proceedings to order.
Faculty assemble in a column of twos.
Faculty marshals will lead the column out of the Council Chambers, across the Plaza level overpass, down the ramp to the Washington Street level, and into the Arena after the last group of students. In inclement weather, faculty will be directed down the Council Chambers stairs to street level. The faculty column will exit out the State Street doors. University personnel will assist the faculty column in crossing State Street under the covered walkway to the Arena on the Stuart Place side. The faculty column, led by the faculty marshals, will follow the students into the Arena.
