Senate on May 10, 2007 and the Provost on May 21, 2007. Over the summer, we

The general
program runs as follows:
The
ceremonies are held outside of Gleeson Hall.
There are bleachers and chairs so there will be plenty of room for
family and friends.
The program begins
between 8:30 and 8:45 depending on how quickly everyone can get seated. Coffee and other goodies are provided both
before and after the ceremonies in the main lobby.
There will
be speeches by the chair, the dean, faculty and students. Awards will be given and each of you will be
acknowledged before your guests.
There will
then be a time for the taking of the group graduation picture and time for
photos with family and friends. During
and after this time there is a reception with refreshments in Gleeson 100.
The whole
affair should be completed by 11:45 leaving plenty of time for you and your
family to attend the OSU graduation beginning at 2:00.
If you need
more information, please stop by the office.
