CSU is now accepting registrations for the 2009 CSU Graduation Ceremony. The date and location are set for Friday, October 16, 2009 at the world’s second largest air and space museum, the National Museum of Naval Aviation in Pensacola, Florida. Students must have submitted their petition to graduate prior to registering.
The ceremony will be held in the 10,000 square foot museum atrium with a quartet of McDonnell Douglas A-4 Skyhawk jets suspended above in their famous diamond formation. This 300,000 square foot museum attracts approximately one million visitors a year and features more than 150 aircraft.
Graduates must submit a $110 ceremony fee along with the commencement registration to participate. Friends and family are also welcome to attend the graduation ceremony. Students may bring up to five guests. The first three guests can attend at no cost; however, each additional guest (up to five) will have an additional cost of $10 each. Students will be provided with an email containing a link to the regalia ordering site once the ceremony fee has been received.
Graduates are also invited to participate in other activities including an open house, alumni social and graduation reception. More details about these graduation events will soon be available.
