Winter Commencement Details

[Office of the President]

Dear Campus Community,

A reminder: We are planning to hold two smaller, in-person commencement
ceremonies in the E. Glenn Giltz Auditorium on Saturday, Dec. 18. These
will be at 10 a.m. and 12:30 p.m.

We are able to have a limited number of teaching faculty and professional
staff attend in regalia. We are planning the traditional walk into the
event for graduates and faculty. You may choose which event you would like
to attend.

Here are the key steps to follow in order to obtain a seat for an event:

   - *Get a Ticket. *Go to tickets.plattsburgh.edu to reserve a seat. Tickets
   will not be available after Friday, Dec. 3. Faculty and staff serving as
   volunteers do not need to obtain a ticket.

   - *Requirements to Attend.* In order to attend, you must have completed
   your COVID-19 vaccine series or obtain a negative COVID test taken within
   72 hours of the event. Indoor face coverings for the event will also be
   required of all in attendance. Livestream of the event will also be
   provided.

   - *Ahead: Get a Bracelet.* Attendees will be asked to pre-check-in the
   week before the event. We will share specific details as we get closer. We
   plan to have tables in the ACC for those who have completed vaccines and
   have a ticket. Attendees will be given a bracelet corresponding to their
   event time. You will be required to arrive a half-hour early for the
   commencement-day event.

*Volunteering*
As in past years, we are in need of volunteers for duties ranging from
ushers to check-in staff. All volunteers, like formal attendees, must have
completed their vaccine sequence.

Please email president_office at plattsburgh.edu with your availability to
support our graduates.

Our plans are contingent on the public health situation and state guidance.
Should COVID-19 cases on campus or in the region increase markedly, we may
be forced to change plans.

Regalia is available through the Campus Bookstore and online. More details
are online at plattsburgh.edu/commencement.
