All faculty, staff and students are invited to serve as commencement ambassadors during the fall commencement ceremonies. Ambassadors help create a welcoming atmosphere by helping guests to their seats, answering questions, guiding graduates through the ceremony, and maintaining a positive experience for families and friends.

S&T will host three commencement ceremonies at the Gale Bullman Building. Ph.D. and master’s candidates will be honored during a ceremony at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18 and bachelor’s degree candidates will be recognized during two ceremonies (split by discipline) held at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19.

Perks of becoming an ambassador:

  • An opportunity to show your support for our graduating students and be part of the highlight of the academic year.
  • All ambassadors receive an exclusive ambassador gift.
  • Leadership experience for lead volunteer roles.
  • Invitation to a special appreciation lunch on Thursday, Dec. 17.
  • If you are an exempt employee and your supervisor allows, you can use flex time for hours worked during commencement.

If you are interested in becoming a commencement ambassador, register online by Friday, Nov. 20.

Ambassadors will be contacted with more details in the weeks leading to commencement.
