Commencement marks the culmination of a student鈥檚 academic career to date. This celebration is a chance for the CU 麻豆影院 community to gather in support of its students and their achievements. We are asking for your help in this campus tradition.
As a commencement marshal, you can give back to graduating students one more time and enjoy the tradition in a fulfilling way, helping ensure guests have a positive experience and leave campus with treasured memories.
The campus is calling on employees to volunteer in a variety of roles during commencement on Thursday, May 10, and in departmental ceremonies that week. Invite your fellow faculty and staff to join as well.
Lisa Bechard, who has been a commencement marshall for over a decade, says:
It's a great opportunity to serve in the CU community. It's a celebration of the students, families and community at CU, a culmination of hard work, and it's thrilling to see that pay off for our graduates, knowing that we are a part of something bigger than just our everyday job.鈥�
