Marshals

Faculty marshals are volunteers who process with the graduates to direct them, help them assemble, and escort them up to the stage. Please register as a "Marshal" if you would like to participate in this role.

Regalia

Spring Commencement regalia may be purchased online or in person at the PSU Bookstore anytime. Regalia will be delivered to school and college's main offices in early June.

Regalia for the President's Inauguration may be kept for both ceremonies and returned after the 2009 Spring Commencement Ceremony.

AAUP will reimburse full members up to $58 for rental or $58 per year for purchase until regalia is paid off.  Please call 503.725.4414 or visit the AAUP Office located in Room 232 of Smith Memorial Student Union.
