    CONVOCATION DAY
      Faculty and the Dean's Party arrive at the Meany Studio Theater (outside stairs/east side of Meany Theater) at 9:00am. Plan to arrive in academic apparel since there will be no dressing rooms available. To find the Studio Theater, head to the left of the building as you face the main theater doors. No one but graduates and faculty will be allowed in the Studio Theater. The main doors to Meany Theater will also open at 9:00am for family and friends. The processional will begin at 9:30am.

      The faculty will stand on the stairs to the left entrance of the theater and applaud as graduates pass through to enter the Theater. Faculty members enter two by two in the processional after the graduates. Dean Woods will proceed to the stage last - after faculty members have ascended the stage - and will proceed directly to the podium. Faculty members remain standing until the dean states, "You may be seated." If your PhD advisee is graduating, plan to be a part of the Dean's Party and step to the front of the stage as the graduate's name and dissertation title are announced.

      Faculty members leave the stage first during the recessional. A reception follows the ceremony from 11:00 to 11:30am.


    AFTER CONVOCATION DAY
      Regalia should be returned to the HUB, Room 110 on June 13 (9:00am - 6:00pm), June 14 (9:00am - 6:00pm), June 15 (12:00am - 6:00pm), or June 16 (9:00am - 6:00pm).

      DO NOT RETURN REGALIA TO ACADEMIC SERVICES.
