Commencement
Invitation
To
the Penn Community:
Penn's
Commencement is a wonderful opportunity to gather together in
celebration of the impressive accomplishments of our students.
On behalf of the Trustees, Officers, and Deans and their faculties,
we would like to invite all members of the Penn community to
attend the University's
246th Commencement on Monday, May 13, 2002. We are very
fortunate to have Mr. Jim Lehrer as our Commencement speaker
this year.
Led
by flag bearers and bagpipers, the Academic Procession steps
forth from the Annenberg Center at 9 a.m., then pauses for approximately
45 minutes in front of College Hall to applaud the graduating
students as they pass through our ranks. The procession then
proceeds to Franklin Field where the ceremony begins at 10:15
a.m.
If
you wish to attend the festivities, please seek advance approval
from your supervisor to assure that the business needs of your
department will continue to be met. Whether you wish to join
the festivities around Locust Walk and College Green, or come
to the ceremony itself (tickets are not necessary), we very
much hope that you will join us in this University-wide culmination
of the academic year.
