Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
RE:
ANNUAL HONORS CONVOCATION
DATE:
07 March 2012
Your participation in the Honors
Convocation is one of the primary obligations of a full-time faculty and is,
thereby, listed on the academic calendar and contract as one of the many events
you are required to attend. Classes will be cancelled from 11:00 a.m. –
12:00 p.m. 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 and staff must
assemble in academic regalia by 10:45 a.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 11:00 a.m. Faculty and staff members not in academic
regalia will not be permitted to march into the Chapel with the faculty.
In the processional, the
Faculty Marshals will seat the students, followed by the student processional
which is directed by the Student Marshals. When the students are seated, the
University Marshals will lead the platform guests into the Chapel.
In the recessional, the
platform party will proceed followed by the faculty, staff, and then the
students.
ATTIRE
Academic
regalia and dark colors are required for all participants in the academic
procession. Males should remove their caps prior to the invocation and
place them on their heads just before marching out, after the benediction.
For rental of academic regalia you must reserve and pay Ms. Lucy Green
in the Campus Bookstore.
Your
participation is central to the continued success and reverence of this
ceremony. I hope to see each of you there.
