From the Faculty Marshal

June

Dear Faculty Colleagues:

The MIT Commencement and Hooding ceremonies always garner good support from our faculty, and our students really appreciate your being there to congratulate them. Many students often remark as to how it was so special to them to see Professor xxx there as s/he walked up and over to get their degree. Thank you for making it such a great and special day.

As usual, we have an online form that we ask you to use to let us know if you do plan to participate in Hooding and/or Commencement. Use of the form helps our overall process, so we thank you for your help in that regard. The form is available here. If you have questions or suggestions, please send them to commencement@mit.edu.

A final note-these two events are very special opportunities to honor our Institute students who have worked so hard to earn their MIT degrees. Please place these important dates and times of Thursday, June 4 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for Hooding and Friday, June 5 from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm for Commencement on your calendar now, and give serious thought to giving a small amount of time to being there and saying "great job" to our students. I look forward to working with you to make that happen.

Paul Lagace
Faculty Marshal
