UVM Commencement Preparations

Posted: Updated:
BURLINGTON, Vt. -

Thousands of students will become University of Vermont college graduates Sunday. It's UVM's 209th commencement, so they have the preparation down pat, but it doesn't mean it's not quite the production.

From setting up 8,000 chairs, lighting and decorations, it takes an entire team. To ensure things run seamlessly, UVM suggests car-pooling and arriving early.

For the first time ever, the graduation will be streaming live on the school's web site, so that you can see a close-up of your graduate.

"This is our opportunity to congratulate the students, their families and to make sure their last moment at UVM is going to be really special," Shane Cutler said, Director of Conference and Event Services.

The procession begins at 8:20 AM.
