Location and Time
Commencement will be held at the W.E. Osmon Field House on Saturday, May 16, 2009, at 10:00 am. With the move of the location, graduates will not be limited to only 6 guests each; tickets will NOT be needed to attend the ceremony; there will be UNLIMITED seating available.
Caps and Gowns
Caps and gowns can be picked up from the VCSU Bookstore, their hours are 7:45 am to 4:30 pm. The Bookstore will also be open during the Senior Luncheon so you would have a opportunity to pick up at that time too.
Senior Luncheon
The luncheon will still be held on Friday, May 15 at the VCSU Student Center but will start at 1:00 pm. The luncheon is free to all those graduating and I would encourage you to attend. Family members are welcome to attend the luncheon at a cost of $5 each. If you plan to attend the luncheon please RSVP to kim.hesch@vcsu.edu.
Rehearsal
Rehearsal for the Commencement Exercises will be held at 3:00 pm on Friday, May 15 at the W.E. Osmon Field House. This rehearsal is important! Please make every attempt to be present. Seat numbers for the ceremony will be posted outside the Foundation Office (McFarland Hall, Room 212) on Thursday, May 14 and will also be available at the senior luncheon. Please be in your assigned seat by 3:00 pm. Directions will be given for the processional, recessional, and the granting and conferring of degrees and diplomas.
