Black Graduation

This year was a great success thanks to all of the wonderful volunteers from our student body, faculty, and staff. While this event was a great success there is always room for improvement. Below are some of the areas covered at our last BFSA meeting and I invite you to add any compliments or constructive criticism you would offer in the reply section to this post.

1. A change in the number of tickets provided to graduates at the time of registration to 4 tickets per graduate.
2. Printing of tickets for the main area not to exceed the number of allotted seats.
3. Tickets sold at the door for the overflow room have an option to move into the main area organized on a first come first served basis.
4. Doors to main area closed once the President rises to speak and are not opened except at pre-determined intervals by ushers.
5. Have a seperate entrance for persons entering that have already been seated.
6. Create a master plan/schedule for the event and distribute internally to all volunteers
7. Have all volunteers attend a mandatory meeting at which the master schedule is gone over
8. Off-setting costs previously covered by Cross Cultural Center and Student Life.
9. Each member of BFSA sell 3 ads in the program
10. Proof and edit of program performed by a member of BFSA
11. BFSA point of contact on all graduation committees to serve as mentor for student leaders
12. Fundraising efforts should begin at the onset of the school year (bring back the hotlinks)
13. Consider a larger venue to host the graduation
14. Consider going back to Wednesday evening
15. Consider combining our event with the latino graduation event in the Coussoulis Arena (cost savings and increased capacity)
