Please note the change in times for May 2004 Commencement and Baccalaureate as listed in the 2003-2004
Academic Calendar (found at http://www.stetson.edu/offices/academicaffairs/acadcal03-04.htm). Baccalaureate
will be held on Saturday, May 8, at 9:00 a.m. in Elizabeth Hall Chapel. Commencement for graduate degree
candidates will be held in the Elizabeth Hall Chapel at 11:00 a.m. and commencement for undergraduate degree
candidates will be held in the Edmunds Center at 2:00 p.m. Introduced as a way to reduce the overcrowding of May
commencement in the Edmunds Center, this change presents some wonderful opportunities to enhance the
graduation experience for both our graduate and undergraduate students.
