The following information only pertains
to the Queens Commencement Exercises on Sunday, May 15,

Will the graduate names be
called?
As an institution we
understand the importance of calling the names of each of our
graduates, and inviting each of the graduates to greet his or her
Dean on stage so that the Dean may offer congratulations on
behalf of the University. The names of our graduates will be
read unless extreme weather necessitates that we amend the
ceremony.
What do I do when I arrive at the
ceremony?
Faculty and administrators are to go to the tent adjacent to
Newman Hall in their academic attire at 9:30 a.m. and prepare for
the procession, which will start at 10:20 a.m. sharp.
