Eco-Graduation? College Students Green Commencement
2007-05-24 14:42:00 Proving that sustainability is a priority for today's young people, two colleges are incorporating sustainability into their graduation ceremonies. Grads at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania took pledges of sustainability at their commencement, while Ohio's Oberlin College took the first step in a five-year plan to make Commencement/Reunion Weekend completely carbon neutral. At Dickinson, grads signed sustainability pledges, vowing to recycle more and conserve resources. Those who signed pledges, about a fifth of the graduating class, wore green ribbons on their commencement gowns to signify their committment to sustainability. Dickinson itself has significantly increased the amount of sustainabilty measure the university is taking, and even boasts an alumni group specifically committed to sustainabilty on campus. The school has operated an environmentally-friendly apartment complex, dubbed the "Tree House", for fifteen years, and has a Campus Sustainabilit...

Add A Little Fanfare To Your Commencement
2007-05-19 06:38:00 "Every year I have between five and eight trumpeters play for Baccalaureate and Commencement. The trumpet fanfares add a regal mood and ?air of importance? to the events that not only look and sound nice, but also is a visual boon for the music department. Many high schools and colleges have the traditional concert band or wind ensemble play for commencement. Some areas may have an organ or even a CD (not anyone?s first choice) play. Regardless of what you may do, it is a relatively easy thing to get a cohort of trumpet players together to do this and it adds a special flavor to the event(s). My recipe for the trumpeters at our Commencement and Baccalaureate: First, early on, I stress the importance to the undergraduates of performing for the seniors, creating a seriousness about the importance of the fanfare group. I talk about how they will appreciate the fanfares when it?s their turn to ?walk?. I also have the advantage...

Suspended commencement
2007-05-05 22:49:00 The bells have ceased their tolling and most of the Dodge Caravans left three hours ago. Another graduation ceremony has passed and several hundred people are now officially (and presumably) launched onto bigger and better things. Those involved no doubt sensed the monumental nature of the event with their family thronging about cajoling them to pose for endless photos. The campus, however, is now barren, the only movement belonging to the few straggling employees removing the decorative banners brought out only for the occasion. The cool gray sky and the calls of birds accentuate the unusual vacancy.I recall watching my family?s minivan pull away after being dropped off my freshman year. I wondered what I was in for and if I had made the biggest mistake of my life. Five years later and this town seems more like home than where I grew up. The irony is that I want to leave this place. Many of my friends graduated with me last year and left. The few who also enrolled in the M.A. progr...
