Faculty Participants
All faculty are invited to participate in the commencement ceremony. As official witnesses to the conferring of degrees faculty play a vital role in the success of the ceremony. Faculty may participate either as members of the academic procession or as marshals involved in directing graduates during the ceremony.
Academic Procession
Faculty in the academic procession are the first to enter the stadium. They are seated on stage for the duration of the ceremony. Seating is limited, so please confirm via the RSVP/regalia order form (by May 18) to secure your seat. Regalia is free for faculty participating in the ceremony.
Become a Marshal
Commencement marshals are involved in every aspect of the Commencement process, from the opening procession and seating of candidates to the concluding recessional. Their participation is critical to the ceremony’s success. If you are interested in becoming a marshal, please complete the University Book Store’s Academic Regalia Order Form – even if you don’t need to order regalia – and indicate that you will be participating in Commencement as a marshal. Of course you can also order regalia and the Office of Ceremonies will cover the rental cost.
