MEMORANDUM
TO: Participants in the Academic Procession to Convocation
SUBJECT: Procedures for Convocation Day
I am writing to provide a few details about the procedure that
we will be using for the Academic Procession to Convocation on Thursday,
October 7, 1999. Robing for the Academic Procession will take place in
the lobby and adjacent conference room inside the Cushing Library,
beginning at 2:15 p.m. The Procession will step-off from the Cushing
Library at 2:45 p.m.
The following information will help make the robing process and
the Procession run more smoothly.
* All rented regalia should be picked up from Mr. Lawrence Smith
in the Texas A&M Bookstore prior to Thursday, October 7.
* Newly purchased hoods should also be picked up from Mr. Lawrence
Smith prior to Thursday, October 7.
* All participants may bring regalia to the Cushing Library on the
morning of October 7. Personnel will be available to receive and label
regalia from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m.
* Women may want to wear flats or "chunky"-heeled shoes. The
Procession route crosses a couple of rough spots that could catch a
narrow-heeled shoe and cause someone to trip.
* A labeled hanger will be provided for coats or jackets that you
may want to leave in the robing area during Convocation. An attendant
will be on duty all afternoon; so, personal items will be secure.
* Following Convocation, individuals who have rented regalia may
return those items to representatives of the Texas A&M Bookstore, who
will be on duty at a drop off point in the first floor hallway between
Rudder Theater and Rudder Auditorium. (Sign will indicate drop-off
area.)
* The robing area in Cushing Library will remain open until 5:00
for individuals to retrieve personal items left there during the
Convocation.
We are delighted that you are going to participate in this
festive beginning to Academic Convocation and look forward to seeing you
at 2:15 on Thursday, October 7.
