Body

Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and countless other ways at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 17. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.

Body

Staff members, this is the time of year when you can self-nominate or nominate a colleague to serve on a university standing committee and Staff Senate.

The deadline to nominate yourself or a colleague for the Staff Senate is tomorrow, Friday, March 14.

More to come in the spring with registration and schedule information.
