Graduation!

Congratulations to the ALOP graduates!

Here's a little pomp and circumstance to get you in the mood...
(the part you're most familiar with starts 1:14 into the song)

Congratulations!

Advice to students participating in graduation on Saturday

All graduates:

• if at all possible, pick up your graduate gown before Saturday. They pack them in little bags and they are full of wrinkles! (and I know you want to look perfect for all those graduation photos! :-)
  
  speaking of photos, there will be two professional photographer shots that you will have the option to purchase: one taking as you are getting your diploma/shaking the President's hand, and one in front of a Drake backdrop right after you exit the stage.
  
  
• Hanging your gown (not the hood) in the bathroom during a couple of steamy showers should get out most of the wrinkles.

Women graduates:

• try on your cap ahead of time and see if you need to bring bobby pins or not.
  
  
• unless you're wearing a button down shirt tucked into your pants/skirt, you'll want to bring a safety pin to pin the "string" on your hood to your blouse/top so that it doesn't choke you. (the design was originally based on the idea that everyone graduating would have on a button down shirt...i.e. men.)

See you Saturday!

Free APA Manual!

One of the graduating ALOP students has graciously agreed to donate her APA manual to a current student. (I can't believe she doesn't think she'll need it after graduation! :-)
