Photographs

• Professional photographers  will be taking class photos prior to the ceremony and individual photographs of each candidate as they cross the stage during the ceremony.
• Students must be at Mondavi at 7:50 a.m. in order have their pictures taken.
• Please respect the dignity of the ceremony.  Family and friends wishing to take photographs of candidates are requested to do so either from their
seats or before and after ceremony. It is disruptive to have numerous people rushing the stage during the hooding for photographs.
• Students will receive an email from the photographer:   Bob Knight
PhotoMarketing, 1975 Commonwealth Lane,   Tallahassee, FL 32303. phone 800-628-4509, fax 850-574-0774 or
Web site  www.bobknightphoto.com.

Important Advice!  For photographic purposes, wear your tassel to the right when you are on stage.

Many photographs are undeliverable due to hair or tassels blocking the face. Hair should be styled or placed over the shoulders so it will not block the face from the camera's view when proceeding across
the stage.

Full-time Students - Keys

• Failure to return keys by Friday, June 20, 2008, will result in a hold on your diploma.

• If you would like to donate your key deposit or a portion of your deposit to the ASM, you can do so when you return your keys.

Full-time Students - Employment Survey
