The ISSO would like to congratulate all of our graduates this Spring
2008. Each of you have worked very hard and we are very proud of you
and your accomplishments!
This is a very exciting time for each of you that will be graduating and
you should be very proud and excited in your accomplishments. The
commencement (graduation) ceremony has a very rich tradition at Texas
A&M University- Commerce, and while it is an exciting time for graduates
and their friends and families, the ceremony is traditionally solemn and
dignified. In keeping with these traditions, all participants are
requested to refrain from any semblance of celebration as they proceed
across the stage following receipt of the diploma. It is also requested
that you inform your guests in the audience to refrain from making
distracting noises during this time. Since candidates proceed across the
stage in fairly rapid order, such interruption may override the name of
the next graduate.
The reading of the graduating student's name is a very cherished moment
during the commencement ceremony for both the graduate and their guests.
If audience members are celebrating excessively and loudly this may
prevent the next graduate's name from being heard when it is read. Out
of respect for all participants and their guests we ask that you and
your guest please abide by the commencement guidelines.
I have attached a commencement ceremony sheet with this email to provide
you with important information for the commencement ceremony. Also,
please go to the following link to find the schedule for the different
commencement ceremonies and the times and locations for graduating
students. Please be sure to be to your assigned room before the time
listed on the link as your tardiness may delay the ceremony.
