Please return exit survey to the Philosophy Dept Office
Graduating Students: please be at location & fully robed by 9:45am
On Saturday morning, 14 June 2008,
the Philosophy Department will hold a commencement ceremony and reception
in
honor of graduating students.
The festivities will be held outdoors in a new location for us this year, on
the East Villard Lawn (between Villard and Lawrence Halls) from 10:00 a.m.
to 11:15
a.m. Following
the graduation
ceremony, Philosophy Department graduating students and their guests are invited
to remain for refreshments. Our ceremony will end in plenty of time for graduates
and
guests to walk to McArthur Court for the All-University Commencement,
which will be held 30 minutes earlier this year, beginning at 12:00 noon, due
to having an outside Commencement Speaker this year (for more information on
the McArthur Court ceremony, see http://studentlife.uoregon.edu/programs/commencement/spring.htm).
UO faculty members, family, friends, and classmates
of our graduating students are invited
to join
the
celebration. Although no tickets are required to attend our ceremony, early
arrivals will have the best choice of seating. Please take a moment to
think about your guests and any accommodations that need to be requested in
advance (wheelchair ramp, sign language interpreter, etc.). If you or your
guests have any special
needs, please contact Student
Life as soon as possible so requests can be
met.
PLEASE NOTE: Wally Kempe, owner of the Grad Photo Processing Center, is the
official photographer for all University of Oregon commencement ceremonies
this year.
One of the staff will take a photograph of each graduate receiving a diploma,
and graduates will
receive a proof picture in the mail shortly after the ceremony. Pictures
are also available online within 48 hours of the ceremony. To view these
pictures online (after Saturday June 14) go to www.gradphoto.com and
enter UOFO as your password. Any questions regarding graduation
photos can be
