Hello,
Barring Health Department approval, we are planning more of a graduation walk. The graduates and guests will not be seated. We’re proposing two guests per graduate. They’ll stay together as a pod. The graduate and guests will walk past a small group of faculty, then cross the stage to get their diploma. Their name and program will be read. This is a great opportunity for whomever is joining the graduate to take lots of pictures.
Asking for RSVP so we can coordinate when the graduate’s walk time is. After they RSVP, we’ll email them their time slot, which will be by program.

Hi –
Our current plan (still being finalized/approved) is to have the diploma cover on the student’s chair (and a name card) so they know where to go and sit. No processional. They will get to cross the stage for photo op/reading of name, but will bring up the diploma cover for this opportunity… won’t be shaking hands etc…
Recessional in pockets/pods… different exits (yet TBD).

Hello MACRAO friends!
For those attempting an in-person commencement ceremony this year do you have any thoughts regarding doing a lineup/processional/recessional with COVID restrictions? Are you going to do any sort of line up/processional/recessional or are you just going to have students go directly to their seat upon arrival? Currently we are looking at doing four smaller ceremonies over two days in order to allow for some guests. Most of the details I’ve been able to envision to keep it COVID compliant, but I’m having trouble envisioning the lineup/processional/recessional with meeting COVID restrictions.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Charity
