RE:                  FOUNDERS’ DAY CONVOCATION

 
DATE:                        October 31, 2012

 

The 2012 Founders’ Day Convocation will be held Sunday, November 11, 2012, at 3:30 p.m., in the Alfred K. Lawless Memorial Chapel.  The speaker for this occasion will be Dr. Cheryl Taylor, Interim Dean of Southern University and A&M College School of Nursing and Allied Health.

Your participation in the Founders’ Day Ceremony is a primary obligation of full-time faculty and is, thereby, listed on the academic calendar.  Should a personal emergency arise that would interfere with attendance at this ceremony, faculty should contact the respective Dean and the Provost, immediately. 

LINE-UP

The faculty must assemble in academic regalia by 3:00 p.m., in front of Rosenwald Hall.  The Faculty Marshals will arrange the order of the procession and will lead faculty and staff members to their reserved seats.  The procession will begin promptly at 3:15 p.m.  Faculty and staff members in academic regalia will not be permitted to enter the Chapel once the program has begun.   

In the recessional, the platform party will proceed followed by the faculty, staff, and then the seniors.  Males should remove their caps prior to the invocation and place them on their heads after the benediction and just before marching out.



ATTIRE 

Academic regalia and dark colors are required for all participants in the academic procession. For rental of academic regalia you must place your order with campus bookstore.

Your participation is central to the continued success and reverence of this ceremony.  I hope to see each of you there.
