Graduating Students: please be at location & fully robed by 9:45am
On Saturday morning, 13 June 2009,
the Philosophy Department will hold a commencement ceremony and reception
in
honor of graduating students.
The festivities are held outdoors in a new location for us (since Spring 2008),
on the East Villard Lawn (between Villard and Lawrence Halls) from 10:00 a.m.
to 11:15
a.m. Following
the graduation
ceremony, Philosophy Department graduating students and their guests are invited
to remain for refreshments. Our ceremony always ends in plenty of time for
graduates and
guests to walk to McArthur Court for the All-University Commencement (which
was held 30 minutes earlier last year, beginning at 12:00 noon instead of 12:30pm,
due to having an outside Commencement Speaker; for more information
on
the McArthur Court ceremony, see http://studentlife.uoregon.edu/programs/commencement/spring.htm).
UO faculty members, family, friends, and classmates
of our graduating students are always invited
to join
the
celebration. Although no tickets are required to attend our ceremony, early
arrivals will have the best choice of seating. Please take a moment to
think about your guests and any accommodations that need to be requested in
advance (wheelchair ramp, sign language interpreter, etc.). If you or your
guests have any special
needs, please contact Student
Life as soon as possible so requests can be
met.
