Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and countless other ways at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 17. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.
