Faculty and staff

Faculty and staff are invited to participate in the academic procession as a member of the Honour Guard. The Honour Guard will form 30-minute prior to the start of each ceremony outside the fourth-floor doors of The Richard J. CURRIE CENTER. In the event of inclement weather, the Honour Guard will form inside the Long Hall on the fourth-floor entrance.

The piper will lead the Marshals and graduands in a procession from the Mackay Promenade to The Richard J. CURRIE CENTER. Graduands will be greeted by the Honour Guard at the fourth-floor entrance. The Marshals will lead graduands into the performance hall, followed by the Honour Guard and then the Platform Party.
