Q:
How do I let the Registrar know I
will walk at Commencement?
A: You will receive a packet containing a Commencement Reply Card in April. You will be asked to submit the card
to the Dean of Students Office in exchange for
three complimentary Class Dinner tickets, and commencement invitations. Student IDs are required to pick up
the tickets. (September and December graduates who are unable to come
directly to the College may obtain their tickets and invitations by contacting
the Dean's Office at (909) 621-8017.)
Q: What is the
"Senior Salute"?
A: The Senior Salute will be held in February in Edmund's Ballroom in the Smith Campus Center.
It is an upscale,
working party sponsored by the Senior Class President, Smith Campus Center,
and Josten's to provide an opportunity for seniors to take care of what they
need for commencement all in one place. In addition to ordering caps & gown, graduation announcements,
yearbook, class ring, diploma frame, and a commencement DVD, graduating seniors can meet with the Alumni Office,
Annual Giving, and Career Development to start familiarizing themselves with
what it means to be a Pomona alum.
