GRADUATING SENIORS
The big day is fast approaching and we wanted to remind you of some important times for Monday May 21st. Seniors will need to be at the graduation practice on Monday at 8:00 am at the Building 9 entrance near the King Center. The doors for the practice will be locked at 8:30. If you are not there for the practice, you will not participate in the evening graduation.
Seniors will need to be at the building 9 entrance at 5:45 pm for the graduation ceremony. Please take into consideration the time it will take to park and get to the building on time. Late students will not be permitted into the ceremony.
Lastly, seniors, you need to take care of any textbook obligations and parking fines by this Friday. If these obligations and fines are left unsettled, you will not be able to receive your graduation tickets at the practice.
The faculty and staff are all proud of your accomplishments and look forward to your graduation ceremony. Congratulations!
