guests must remain in their seats throughout the Commencement
ceremony. Only hand-held cameras that do not block the view of
other guests may be used and guests may not walk into the aisles
to take photographs.
We have arranged for Cady Studios to take an
individual photograph of each graduate as they receive their
diploma. Cady Studios will mail each graduate a proof of this
“diploma” photo and ordering information.

the ceremony and is offering copies on DVD for sale to graduates
