Reminder: volunteers needed for Graduation ceremonies
Friday, 01 November 2019
The Graduation Office is looking for volunteers who would be interested in providing a helping hand at our winter Graduation ceremonies (12 and 13 December 2019). Volunteers are needed to cover the whole event, full days, half days or some shorter shifts.
Graduation is always a special time for the University. It's a special occasion for many students and their families, and as guests of the University, we want them to feel welcome and have a great graduation experience with us.
We all work extremely hard throughout the year to contribute to student life here and graduation is the ultimate end goal. It's not just a happy and celebratory event for students and their families, but also for University colleagues too. This is a great opportunity to see the students you work with on a daily basis graduate, as well as a good chance to meet with other colleagues from around the University.
Staff often have a greater understanding of both students and the University, and your experience and knowledge is invaluable. We are looking for people to help us to greet and host guests attending on the day, in a variety of roles.
We're therefore really keen to have colleagues from across the University help during the days of graduation. If you would like to help on the days and be a marshal please email graduation@reading.ac.uk.
