Dear Seniors and Master’s Students:
So that we may be more effective in our communications and planning for Commencement, we invite you to answer a few questions at our Commencement 2013 Survey.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Letter from the Senior Class President:
December 14, 2012
Dear Parents and Families:
Barely five months stand between the senior class of 2013 and our commencement. Throughout the trials and triumphs of college, you as parents and family members have lent your love and loyalty upon which our success has been founded. Now, after four years, it is time to celebrate the completion of this endeavor and look toward graduation.
Commencement will be held on Saturday, May 18, 2013. Please note that a number of events are also planned for Friday, May 17, including an awards ceremony, Baccalaureate and the President's Reception. Now is the time to begin making arrangements and booking reservations for accommodations at area hotels. Several area colleges will be sharing the same graduation weekend; therefore, we do urge families to arrange accommodations now. For your convenience, a list of area hotels can be found on page 2 of the Commencement 2013 brochure.
The Class of 2013 has often been noted by faculty and staff alike for our exceptional camaraderie, dedication to the principles of our institution and outstanding academic achievement. We look forward to having you participate in the celebration of our graduation and on behalf of the class of 2013, thank you for your continued support!
Best Regards,
Lauren Morgan ’13
Senior Class President
