Volunteer roles
Robing assistants
Help students to look their best during their ceremonies. Most of them have never worn graduation robes, hoods or caps!
- Time commitment: 2 hours (per volunteer shift)
Marshals
Marshals guide students so that they can relax and enjoy their ceremonies. After they've put on their robes, you'll instruct them how to line up for the procession into the ceremony, then lead them into the auditorium.
- Time commitment: 3.5-4 hours (per volunteer shift)
Greeters
Greeters are stationed around the Clearihue building, helping students to find their rooms as they arrive, and redirecting family and friends to the convocation guest areas.
- Time commitment: 2 hours (per volunteer shift)
