To show support and help celebrate the accomplishments of our graduates, WSU Tri-Cities is covering the regalia rental fee for faculty. Both forms are combined this year and instead of ordering regalia individually, regalia will be ordered in bulk by the campus. The deadline for faculty to register for Commencement and rent regalia is March 31st.
Plan to arrive for lunch by 11:30 am, but no later than 12:30 pm to allow time to be fully robed and lined up for the processional.
This group consists of the macebearer, ASWSUTC President, College faculty and Doctoral advisors (hooders).
Upon arrival, proceed to the coat racks assigned to each college to hang up your personal regalia or locate your rented regalia. Note, if WSU rented your regalia, you will be required to check it back in before you leave the Toyota Center. A clothing steamer will be provided for faculty who are bringing their own regalia.
The college and hooding faculty will assemble in the robing area and be fully robed for line up no later than 12:40 pm.
This group consists of the chancellor, vice chancellors, assistant vice chancellor, academic directors, honor guard, macebearer, advisory council, cabinet members, keynote speaker, and VIP guests. Readers and diploma cover handlers will also be included in this group even though they do not walk in with the platform party.
Proceed to the coat racks assigned to the platform party to either hang up your personal regalia or locate your rented regalia. Note, if WSU rented your regalia, you will be required to check it in before you leave the Toyota Center.
