How long will it take? What you need to do.
How long will it take?
The day runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, March 7, and you’re invited to drop in at any time. 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. We recommend that you plan to spend up to one hour at Senior Day. (You can always leave and come back later in the day.) At the other tables, you can spend as much or as little time as you’d like. We’ve taken over the entire lobby and garden level of the Law/Graduate Schools Building for this event.

Graduation Appreciation Program
The Graduation Appreciation Program (GAP) allows you to publicly recognize the people (family, friends, faculty, etc.) who have helped you reach this point in your college career. The individuals that you choose to acknowledge will be listed in the Commencement Program under your name.
To participate in the program, click here to make your submission online.
Contact
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.
If you have any questions, please contact Tracy Sparby in Marketing Communications at 651-523-2216 or send e-mail to Tracy.
See you on March 7!
