Students, guests (family, friends, etc. are welcome), and panelists will be present for the duration of the event and a break will be scheduled at around the halfway point.

Students and up to 3 guests are welcome to attend the Graduation Dinner immediately following the symposium at the same site. A local restaurant will be catering. An email will be sent to students at their Master’s email address requesting their RSVP with the estimated number of guests attending.

Students coming in for graduation out of town can arrange to pick up their regalia at the Registrar’s office or at the MABC office. Students may contact the Registrar or Jamaica Groover-Skelton to coordinate pick up.
