Event Services director Theresa Mileo expects 1,360 graduates to walk for Wright State's 40th commencement ceremony next Saturday at Ervin J. Nutter Center. "We expect attendance (family and friends of graduates) to be full capacity."
Students can buy a cap and gown at the University bookstore. Mileo said that while the bookstore isn't the only option for students, it's the best one.
"We have found those students who go elsewhere end up with different sized and colored tassels than if they go to the WSU Bookstore. Our Bookstore knows what color is used for each college and they provide a consistently sized tassel."
While registration for graduation ended May 20th, students who still want to participate can by going directly to Mileo's office.
"We do not turn students away from participating in their graduation ceremony,"said Mileo.
Commencement will be June 9th at 10 am at the Nutter Center.
This year's ceremony will be the first for David Hopkins as Wright State's president, who is expected to speak. Alumni Association President Tom Koogler will also speak.
Physicist David Albright, founder and president of the Institute of Science and International Security will be given an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters Degree.
Students who still want to register for graduation can do so by seeing Theresa Mileo in Event Services in the Student Union, by the bookstore. They can also contact her by phone at 775-5512.
