Dean Ed Adams will preside over this year's program that features five speakers from a variety of majors including public relations, studio arts, dance, graphic design, and media arts studies. This convocation differs from other college’s ceremonies as it includes a special musical number from a graduating student. This performance features 'Une ChÁ¢teleine en sa Tour” for the harp by graduating Music Performance Major Eliza Jane Holland. “I recognize that your graduation is a result of much personal determination, self-discipline and dedication,” advisement center supervisor Julee Braithwaite said of students participating. “I hope that as you move on to new opportunities, you will enjoy a sense of satisfaction in the things you were able to learn, create and achieve while here at BYU wish you all the best as you pursue your future professional and personal endeavors.” After the presentations, graduates will individually walk across the stage to receive their diploma. Students who graduate in December are invited to attend the next April graduation ceremonies and those who graduate in June are invited to attend the August graduation ceremonies. The ceremony will last approximately two hours. Students participating in convocation should arrive in the HFAC tunnel at 7:15 a.m. prior to the ceremonies.
