The Public Ceremonies Committee is seeking volunteer ushers to welcome graduating students' families, friends and other supporters to the December Commencement ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 16.
Ushers help with overall crowd control and seating people with special needs at the ceremony, which begins at 10 a.m. in the Deborah F. Stanley Arena and Convocation Hall in Marano Campus Center. Ushers are asked to arrive by 8:30 a.m. because doors open at 9. The ceremony is expected to end around noon.
Those volunteering should wear comfortable shoes and nice clothing, and might want to consider dressing in layers. Volunteers will have access to refreshments in Room 137 of Marano Campus Center.
Members of the campus community interested in ushering or with questions about volunteering should email Tim Nekritz of the Public Ceremonies Committee at tim.nekritz@oswego.edu.
