Final Instructions for Faculty

The Academic Procession. Faculty and staff participating in the academic procession of the Graduation Exercises on Sunday, May 11, should assemble in Room 131 of the Yoh Football Building no later than 9:30 a.m. There will be signs for the faculties of Arts and Sciences (Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences); the professional schools; and the general and academic administration. Except for marshals for the schools, the faculty will march in a double column. When the candidates for degrees have taken their places, the faculty marches through the tunnel and onto the field and then to seats on either side of the platform. Please walk in pairs until the columns part at a point near the platform. Men should remove their caps at the beginning of the ceremony for the singing of the National Anthem and replace them when they stand for the Procession from the stadium after the Exercises. The program should be concluded before 11:30 a.m.

Diploma Ceremonies. Closing ceremonies of the schools and the distribution of diplomas by departments and programs of Trinity College follow the Graduation Exercises. Each member of the faculty is urged to attend the ceremony of his or her school, department, or program. Faculty presence at these occasions is expected and always appreciated by the graduates and their families.

Reception. Faculty, staff, and their guests are cordially invited to attend the Reception honoring the graduating classes on Saturday afternoon, May 10, from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. on the lawn south of East Duke Building on East Campus. In the event of rain, the Reception is held in the East Campus Union. Music is provided by the Duke University Wind Symphony.

Reserved Parking. Reserved parking for the use of faculty and staff participating in the Graduation Exercises will be the two lots directly beside the Sheffield Tennis Building on Wannamaker Drive (between Duke University Road and Towerview Drive). For this reserved parking, you need only to identify yourself to the officers on duty as a member of the faculty or staff. Your academic robe is your parking permit.
