Congratulations Graduates!
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.
Great care has been taken to be sure that the ceremony is
completed as quickly and smoothly as possible. The Staten
Island Ceremony will begin at 10 a.m. and we anticipate that the
ceremony will run approximately 1 1/2 hours. Students
must arrive to the assembly area by 8:45 a.m. in order
to begin the procession at 9:45 a.m. Graduates are
requestsed to stay in place until the student recessional has been
completed.
