The countdown is on.
Several hundred students are preparing to graduate in just over a week at this summer's commencement.
According to Record Officer Xanthe Emerick, the Office of the Registrar currently has a list of more than 800 students, approximately 400 graduate students and 430 undergraduate students, who have applied for graduation.
Of that number, only 115 graduate students and 183 undergraduate students plan to participate in the commencement ceremony.
As opposed to the fall and spring semesters, the summer semester has only one commencement ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6 in the Vadalabene Center.
According to Career Development Center Director Jean Paterson, Shelby Steele, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford University, will give the commencement address. Steele is also the recipient of this semester's Distinguished Alumnus Award.
According to the Hoover Institution's Web site, throughout his career, he has appeared on news programs such as Nightline and 60 Minutes. In 1991, he was recognized with an Emmy Award for his work on the documentary, "Seven Days in Bensonhurst."
Steele earned his Master's of Arts Degree in Sociology from SIUE, according to the Web site.
Sheila Shahpari, who is graduating with a bachelor's degree in music from the College of Arts and Sciences and a bachelor's degree in computer science from the School of Engineering, will deliver a speech as the student speaker for the ceremony.
According to an e-mail sent by Paterson, faculty and staff who are participating in the ceremony should arrive by 9:30 a.m. and line up in the corridor between the Student Fitness Center and the Vadalabene Center. Deans and others in the platform party should be in the Student Fitness Center's Wellness Center by 9:30 a.m.
Students participating in the graduation ceremony should be at the Student Fitness Center by 9 a.m.
Anyone involved in the ceremony requiring special assistance, or any faculty or staff member interested in presenting a diploma cover to a family member should contact Natasha Bowen at 650-3772 by Monday.
