Calling of Names for Graduating Students

Each student will have their name read before they receive their diploma. You will be provided with a photography/name card, which must be filled out in the Greer Field House, as no pencils will be allowed into Gampel. Please write your name, including the phonetic pronunciation, and your address. In order for our readers to accurately pronounce your name, please print your name clearly. Our name readers do not see the names of graduating students in advance and rely on these cards to be able to correctly pronounce your name.

Note that you will be on camera immediately following your name being read until you reach the table to receive your diploma cover.
