Commencements

All faculty are encouraged to participate as much as possible in commencement activities and are required to take part in the academic processionals associated with the commencement activities. Faculty members should provide their own academic regalia or rent it through the campus stores. Permission to be excused from attendance must be secured in advance from the appropriate Dean and is granted only in rare instances of a critical nature. This is to ensure that our teaching staff will be represented in full strength when the students with whom they have been working formally complete their academic program.
