Information for Faculty
Faculty Check-in Location
All faculty and members of the platform party should proceed to the Carson Athletic Student Center (CASC) lobby. Please check in with Sara McVey and her team, and she will provide further instructions.
Faculty Check-in Time
All faculty and members of the platform party should be at the Carson Athletic Student Center lobby by 7:00 pm. This will allow ample time for the volunteers to get everyone lined up and over to the arena by 7:25 pm.
Security Note: All faculty will be asked to enter CASC without their regalia to go through security. Please be prepared to be screened.
How do I sit on stage?
There are a limited number of seats available on stage. When checking in, please indicate to the staff member that you would like to sit on stage and they will provide you a number with your place in line. Once all spaces have been claimed, all remaining faculty will sit in the bowl with our graduates.
