Contact commencement@emory.edu for assistance or questions.
Faculty members in full regalia are asked to line up no later than 7:30 am on Commencement morning. The faculty will line up at the Anne Register Jones Courtyard (located between the Jones Center and the new Oxford Road building). The procession, led by the Atlanta Pipe Band, and Chief University Marshal Bobbi Patterson, steps off promptly at 8:00 a.m.
Marching faculty are able to view the ceremony on the stage from their seats via screens.
Regalia
Academic celebrations at Emory are more remarkable when the colors and distinctiveness of faculty regalia enhance the occasions. Members of the faculty are encouraged to join colleagues, students, trustees, and guests of honor, processing in academic costume at our special ceremonies.
Please note: Faculty members who want to process in custom faculty regalia must order eight weeks in advance to ensure accuracy and timely delivery for Commencement. You may order your regalia at the Barnes & Noble at Emory Bookstore on weekdays until March 18 in order to have it available for Commencement. The bookstore may be able to obtain rental regalia for faculty who cannot receive their custom regalia by Commencement.
Faculty Parents
Faculty members whose children will graduate may be able to hand diplomas to their graduates. Contact the dean's office of your student's school.
