Commencement
It’s that time of year again to order your academic regalia. We hope that you will plan to participate in the festivities for the 36th Annual Commencement on Friday, May 16, 2008 at 1:00pm on the West Lawn.
President Schwarz, through the generosity of the Purchase College Foundation, has offered to continue to pay for one-half of the cost of each faculty and staff member’s regalia. To order your regalia, please email Bill Guerrero, Executive Director of the Purchase College Association, at Bill.Guerrero@purchase.edu or call him at (914) 251-6946.

If you rented academic regalia from the Purchase College bookstore last year, your measurements are on file and all you have to do is order and pay by April 21, 2008. If you did not rent academic regalia last year, you must go to the More Store (located on the first floor of Fort Awesome across from Starbucks) to be measured and pay by April 21, 2008. Regalia will be available for pick up in the More Store during Commencement week.
Faculty and staff will line up for Commencement beginning at 11:45 in the Dance Building.
