What to Expect: Arrival & Check-In<\/h3>","content":"All graduates should arrive at the Eastman Theatre (via the Oval Lobby Entrance on Gibbs Street) no later than 4:45 p.m.<\/span> Please come with your regalia already on \u2013 leave your personal belongings with your family as there is nowhere to store these items. If you are a member of the Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society, please wear your cords \u2013 these are worn over your hood. Guests will be allowed entry into the theatre beginning at 4:45 p.m. through the main entrance.<\/span> Please remember there is a ceremony before ours and parking may be an issue so please give yourselves plenty of time to park.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEach graduate must check-in at the registration table in Lowry Hall and will be issued a name card. This card will have your name, including a phonetic pronunciation of your name (if you provided that when registering online). In addition, you may also be given an extra card if you are the first person alphabetically in your program, i.e. CNL, LHCS, etc. This extra card will be given to the reader so they are aware that a new group is beginning and they can properly announce that program. Also, students who have been notified they are receiving an award will be given an additional card with that information on it and the reader will announce that as well.<\/span>","background_color":"#ffffff","width":"width-medium"},{"acf_fc_layout":"accordion_new","anchor_id":"","classes":"mt-0","title":"
