Here are some last minute notes for tomorrow:
• Please arrive at Ravinia no later than 9:00 a.m. - with your College ID and cap and gown. If you don’t have your ID, you may bring a government issued photo ID. The parking lot opens at 8:30 a.m. and gates open at 9 a.m.
• Before lining up, please leave your personal items with guests; you can’t take them up on stage and you’ll return to a different seat after receiving your diploma.
• Please dress for cold weather! The current forecast says it should be around 57° tomorrow morning. With the wind that always whips around Ravinia, it will be cold. Seriously.
Complete details on all the festivities can be found online.
Please pick up your cap and gown ASAP if you have not done so already. They are in North Hall on the 3rd floor in the Alumni and Development Office.
If you picked up your cap and gown today, please double-check the size to make sure it is correct. We had a problem with the vendor and a large number of the packages contained the wrong size.
If your robe is wrong, please email me immediately so we can order the correct size. [email protected]
