Hello Mosaic Campus Partners,

I hope this email finds you well. I am reaching out to you in an effort to share the attached document with any students who would like their chosen name read at Commencement. Starting today, graduating students will be able to pick up their caps and gown from the Bookstore.

Currently, the default name that is read at Commencement is the student's legal name. For some students, this might be a source of stress because it may be a name that they no longer identify with.

I have attached a document with the information available at this link. If you know any students who are unsure about how to have their chosen name read at commencement, please direct them to the Registrar's Office. I have also included their hours and contact information on the document.

Finally, if you have any students who were unable to attend our Lavender Celebration but would like a Lavender cord, please click here. The deadline has been extended to Wednesday, May 22, 2019, by 4pm. Please email Erin Waddles about any questions regarding cords.

Thank you in advance. We appreciate your partnership!

Best,
