Commencement Practice
The best way to make an event run smoothly is for all participants to know what is expected. This is why commencement practice is so important.

Time: 2 p.m.
When: Friday, May 4
Where: Hershey Hall

We will meet in the gym by the bleachers for a few announcements. Then we will line up in the hallway by the weight room. Name cards will show where you should be in line. Once everyone is in line, we’ll march in and sit as we will on commencement day. We will then go through the program and answer all your questions.

Honors Day—a very special event—will be held on Friday, May 4, at 4 p.m. in Hershey Hall. Graduates receiving honors will be the participants, but families, guests and friends are invited to attend. Award recipients should dress in business or professional attire appropriate for an honors ceremony—shirt and tie for men; a jacket is welcome; and for women, dress slacks, skirt, or dress. The following awards will be presented:
