Faculty & Staff Support Needed at Fall 2024 Commencement
Fall 2024 Commencement
Friday, December 20 | Lumberjack Arena
Graduation is a huge milestone for our students and the Fall 2024 Commencement celebrations are just around the corner!
Faculty & Staff Participation
There are a myriad of details that go into running a successful Commencement. Employees are needed to assist on the day, whether it be participating in the procession or supporting Commencement "behind the scenes".
The Fall 2024 Commencement ceremony time has yet to be determined and will be based on student registration and participation in each major and college affiliation. Once student registration closes on November 6, we will be able to better determine the start time and make the announcement. We ask that you please plan for an afternoon ceremony.
Processional Participation
Faculty and staff participating in the processional and who will be seated in the faculty/staff section during the ceremony are being asked to register their processional participation by November 15. The College Office Coordinators will be coordinating the student and faculty/staff line-up in the West Gym and will be providing information and updates to faculty & staff registrants.
Commencement Support
Employees are needed to assist at Commencement. This includes administrators, faculty, staff, students (and even volunteers). Positions such as greeting, ushering, handing out programs, providing ADA shuttle and wheelchair support, providing parking and traffic support, supporting the graduate and faculty/staff line-up area, etc. are available. Those who would like to work Fall 2024 Commencement are asked to make arrangements with their supervisor about adjustments in their weekly work schedule and to submit their Commencement work interest and availability by November 15. Information regarding shift assignments at Commencement will be shared closer to the event.
More information on faculty and staff participation can be found at commencement.humboldt.edu/faculty-staff.
Thanks to everyone participating in Fall 2024 Commencement. Can’t wait to celebrate Cal Poly Humboldt’s newest graduating class together!
