Faculty and administrators participating in the academic procession of the Commencement ceremony on Sunday, May 10, should assemble in Pascal Field House no later than 8:30 a.m. Parking will be available in the Grounds Lot, the Whitford Drive Gated Lot and the Card Gym Lot.
Staff Marshals will be on hand to help facilitate the processional line. The faculty will march in a single-file line. When the candidates for degrees have taken their places, the faculty will march onto the field and then to their seats.
Traditionally, women wear academic caps at all times, and men remove their caps during the National Anthem and opening invocation and replace them for the conferring of degrees.
