About the Ceremony
Commencement will begin at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 27, 2008. It is an exciting event for graduates and their families that marks the end of one road and the beginning of another. It is a busy day for students, faculty, and administrators.
We ask that you help us make it the best day possible by following these guidelines when arriving at the Petersen Events Center:
- Doors to the Petersen Events Center will open at 11 a.m. Family and friends are encouraged to arrive as early as possible in order to avoid a rush when the ceremony begins.
- Graduates are to arrive no later than 12 p.m. All students will process by degree and school onto the floor of the Petersen Events Center floor at the beginning of the ceremony. It is imperative that they be lined up for academic procession prior to the start of the ceremony.
- All graduates are to enter the Petersen Events Center through the lawn level entrance. Family and friends may enter through the lobby level or Concourse A entrances.
