1) Lauri Needs Volunteers
Lauri Needs Volunteers
Lauri will be forever grateful to get possibly four more volunteers (Christina already offered. Thank you! Christina!) to help out at the Legal Studies/JSP Commencement Ceremony on
Sunday, May 12th at Zellerbach Auditorium
The ceremony begins at 2pm, but set-up begins at noon.
I will need students to greet graduates, hand them their reader card, have them fill out the card and hold onto it for the ceremony. Some grads need their cap secured with bobbi pins, guests might need to buy tickets and so will need to be directed to the box office, etc etc.
One challenging but extremely important task is lining up the graduates for the procession.
After the procession, all the materials from outside need to be packed up and brought into the venue where you can then sit and enjoy the ceremony. I reserve seats for you up front on the right-hand side of the floor.
We're hoping for a calm, uneventful ceremony and you will play a large part in making everything go smoothly.
PLEASE only offer to volunteer if you KNOW FOR SURE that you can make it.
Thank you! ;-)
