Faculty Marshals for UHM Fall Commencement
  Faculty marshals play an important role in having commencement ceremonies run smoothly and efficiently. For the mid-year commencement on Sun., Dec. 21, we will need two faculty marshals and two floor marshals for the combined baccalaureate and advanced degree program.
  Faculty marshals assist with the training of student marshals, lead the procession, and oversee the seating of the graduates. The floor marshals assist the faculty marshals and maintain order during the ceremony.
  In appreciation of faculty participation, a monetary gift will be presented to the marshal's department to support a student scholarship.
  Faculty members who would like to contribute their time to Manoa's mid-year commencement are invited to contact Gerald Meredith, Office of Faculty Development and Academic Support, Kuykendall 107, 956-3279, or e-mail jerry@hawaii.edu by Nov. 1, 2003. [exp 10/31]
