Group Photo:
All Humphrey graduates will have the opportunity to participate in the group photo, which will take place at 1:15pm on the stairs inside Ted Mann Concert Hall. You will see the stairs as soon as you walk in the main entrance. Photo participants will be wearing gowns, but no caps. (You may hold on to your cap.) If you would like to order a print of the photo, please contact photographer Daniel Kieffer at 612-825-7052.
Parking:
21st Avenue Ramp will be free on May 17: http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/maps/21Ramp/21Ramp-map.html
19th Avenue Ramp will have a flat rate of $6 on May 17: http://www1.umn.edu/twincities/maps/19Ramp/19Ramp-map.html
Dress:
Caps and gowns are required for the ceremony (unless you are in international ceremonial dress). Information about gowns and hoods http://www.hhh.umn.edu/students/GownsandHoods2009.html *DEADLINE: May 16 if picking up in person; May 9 if ordering on line* (add $10 for shipping)
There will be dressing rooms available for your use at Ted Mann, and they will be locked during the ceremony. A volunteer will point you toward the backstage area when you arrive.
Ted Mann also has lockers on the level below the main entrance for a fee. If it is especially rainy or cold that day, you may want to tell your guests about this service. We recommend, however, that you leave valuables (e.g. purses) with family or friends.
Your cap and gown will include a diagram for hood placement. The hood loop is meant to go around a button on a shirt. If you are not wearing a shirt with buttons you may use a safety pin to secure the loop to your shirt, or better yet, the gown itself. Safety pins, bobby pins, and other helpful items will be available in the dressing rooms at Ted Mann.
Line up:
Be ready to line up at 1:30pm. Staff and student volunteers will assist in placing you in alphabetical order in the backstage area.
Reception:
The reception will be held immediately following the ceremony in terrace between the Ted Mann Concert Hall and Ferguson Hall. Refreshments (cake, coffee, and punch) will be served. Due to space constraints, we ask that all students limit their reception guests to three; you should have already notified us of your guest numbers when you sent in your RSVP.
