Commencement Weekend

Families are asked not to reserve seats for Saturday's Commencement Ceremony before Saturday morning. Signs placed on the chairs Friday will be removed. 

The School has set aside reserved seating for those in wheelchairs and their family members. If you anticipate that members of your family will need and use reserved handicapped seating, please notify Events Director Jane Forsythe in advance. 

Accessible Parking: There will be reserved parking in front of Penick Hall (the admissions building), Evans Dormitory and in front of Hershey Athletics Center. Parking attendants will monitor these spaces and guide drivers to the appropriate parking spots. 

Accessible Seating: All Friday events are hosted in accessible buildings with flexible seating options. For Saturday’s Commencement Ceremony on Hoxton Circle (weather permitting), the most accessible seats will be reserved for guests in wheelchairs. Please email Events Director Jane Forsythe with the number of people in your group, and we will do our best to reserve seating for you together in an accessible location.

 

Access to Golf Cart Shuttles: Our hope is that the reserved parking will provide you the direct access to the buildings you and your guests require. However, if you need additional support, staff members will be available to escort your guest(s) via golf cart to the destination. Check in with the parking attendants, who can call for support on site.
