What Seniors Need to Know
in the Days Before Commencement

Final Preparations for the Ceremony

There is no pre-Commencement rehearsal for students. When they pick up their caps and gowns students will receive a handout containing important information about the assembly area, gate assignments, seating locations, and related matters. Be sure you know the school or college of your major. See the List of Majors. This information will also be published in the Daily Collegian.

Commencement Ball

Graduating seniors will want to mark their calendars for the night of Thursday, May 24, 2007, when they'll be able to celebrate their final days on campus with friends at the biggest graduation party of the year. The evening will include music, dancing, extravagant desserts, and horse-drawn carriage rides—all in honor of the Class of 2007.

The Student Alumni Association is proud to host this year's Commencement Ball. For more information or to purchase tickets, call or visit the website of the Alumni Association, 413-545-2317.
