Seniors can honor family members, professors, friends and others who have influenced their lives in the 2009 Commencement program by making a gift to the Senior Fund.

  • Rain Tickets— Only in extreme weather conditions will Commencement be moved inside. If it looks like there will be a possibility of moving Commencement inside, each senior will receive two rain tickets from their Reid Campus Center mailbox following Baccalaureate. In the unlikely event of an indoor ceremony, Commencement will start at noon instead of 11:00 a.m. Overflow seating will be available in the Reid Campus Center, Maxey Auditorium, and Kimball Auditorium. In all conditions, the ceremony will be webcast in the Reid Campus Center Ballroom and Kimball Auditorium for those who prefer to be inside.
