Staff volunteers sought for December commencement

On Saturday, December 16, 2023, Western will host one of the most important events of the year – one that is highly anticipated by our students and their families – Commencement!

For December, we will be celebrating our Fall 2023 graduates and Summer 2023 graduates who did not participate in the June 2023 ceremony.  We expect around 600 students to join us for three ceremonies in one day – ceremonies starting at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., and 4 p.m.  This schedule allows students to bring their families and friends without the restriction of tickets. 

STAFF:  If you are interested and available to be a warm, welcoming helper to our soon-to-be Western alums and their guests, we invite you to join in the celebration of the students you’ve nurtured through their studies at Western by submitting this Dec 2023 Commencement Helper Sign Up form by Thursday, November 30.  After you submit the form, we will confirm your participation via direct email communication to you.

Thank you for considering this request, and please feel free to forward this email to your colleagues who may be interested as well!  December is a great time for new commencement helpers to learn the ropes.

Please email commencement@wwu.edu, if you have questions or concerns.
