The Ceremony
All degree candidates will be recognized individually, degrees conferred, and we will end with the University of Florida Alma Mater and a recessional of faculty and graduates. We ask that all guests remain in their seats until the recessional is complete.
Photography
We have arranged for a professional photographer to take pictures of each graduate as he/she walks across the stage. We cannot permit other family photographs during the ceremony, but there will be plenty of time and many photo-perfect locations outside the building immediately after the ceremony.
