SUBJECT:

All-Campus Commencement

The interaction between a faculty member and a student is
the core of the students educational experience at UCSD.
The mutual goodwill and respect between faculty and
students is essential to its success. The presence of
faculty at the all campus graduation is an important
symbolic display of faculty appreciation of the success
attained by our graduating students and of good wishes for
their continuing success. In addition many students value
the opportunity, at the post ceremony lunch, to introduce
their families to the role models who have shaped their
academic careers.

Only 19 faculty requested academic regalia before the
deadline for the all campus graduation. We have been
told that it might still be possible to obtain regalia
if ordered no later than June 2. We urge faculty to do so,
and we also urge all faculty who have ordered regalia for
college graduation ceremonies or who own their own, to
attend the all campus graduation.
