Putting together a graduation ceremony requires careful planning and preparation. Graduates and ushers at the College of the Marshall Islands gathered for the first graduation rehearsal last Friday.
Meyar Margaret Laukon, associate dean of equity and engagement, and Jason Sam, coordinator of fitness, recreation, and sports, oversaw the practice.
Each usher was assigned to a graduating group of different college majors; others were tasked with being flag bearers for the CMI and RMI flags and tending to VIPs and spectators.
Graduation is scheduled for May 30 at the CMI campus in Uliga.
In addition to CMI, schools all across the nation are entering graduation season. As they step onto the stage, graduates are set to receive their diplomas and degrees.
