Senior Day 2013: Friday, March 8
We know that there’s a lot for you to be worrying about in the next few months, but we don’t want your actual graduation to be one of those things. That’s why we’ve decided to pool together all of our offices and programs in one place, on one day, so you’re not running all over campus trying to get everything checked off your “things to do before Commencement” list.
On Friday, March 8, 2013, we’ll take over the entire lobby and garden level of East Hall for 2013’s Senior Day. Stop by anytime that day and get ready for Commencement.
How long will it take:
How long you’ll need to be there will depend on all the things you want to do, but know that it will probably take longer than you expect. We’ve estimated the time needed for the “required” activities on the checklist and recommend that you plan to spend up to one hour. You can always leave and come back later in the day. You are free to spend as much or as little time as you like at the non-required booths.
Do I have to go?
Students who are unable to attend or choose not to attend are responsible for completing all graduation tasks on their own time.
