Wright State University has set forth guidance below that permits MVCTC to hold its Senior Recognition Ceremony in their facility. Please read and follow information carefully.
Arrival and Entry: Doors will open at 6:15 p.m. The ceremony will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.
Parking and Directions: Graduates, family members, and guests should park in Lot #1 or Lot #2 and enter the gates nearest these lots (Gate 4 is handicap accessible). At this time there are no limits to the number of people who may attend, however seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
Livestreaming: For those family members and/or guests who are unable to attend, the event will be livestreamed at this website
Additional Information from MVCTC for Graduates and Family Members:
For safety reasons, graduates may not put on robes until they arrive in the McLin Gym.
Graduates should begin making their way from the McLin Gym to their seats no later than 6:40.
Staff will be available to ensure graduates meet dress requirements, outlined below, before granting permission to enter the floor. Graduates arriving after the ceremony begins will not be admitted onto the floor and thus will not participate in the ceremony. Be on Time!
In order to participate in the ceremonies, graduates must have an approved graduation gown (same gown that you will wear at your partner school for those graduating with their class). Graduates who will not be graduating at the partner school must see their MVCTC counselor to arrange for an MVCTC gown for the Senior Recognition Ceremony. Graduation caps are not worn at the MVCTC Senior Recognition Ceremony. Do not bring your graduation cap with you.
The Senior Recognition Ceremony is a formal “dress up” event. The dress code is as follows:
Attire for male graduates: Males should wear dress pants, dress shoes and socks, and collared shirt. No blue jeans or shorts!
Attire for female graduates: Females should wear skirt and blouse, dress or pants, and appropriate dress shoes. High-heeled shoes are not recommended due to the steps on the stage that must be navigated. No blue jeans or shorts!
Graduates may not decorate or deface their robes in any manner.
Graduates who have received honor cords from National Honor Society and/or the National Technical Honor Society are to wear them as prescribed by their advisor and principal. These are the only cords permitted to be worn at the ceremony.
With the fact that graduates will use steps when entering and exiting the stage, graduates are discouraged from wearing high-heeled shoes in an effort to prevent falls.
Graduates are asked to show respect for their fellow classmates and guests.
Graduates are to be seated in their designated place with their instructor(s).
Graduates are to remain seated until the ceremony is completed.
Only graduates and faculty, are permitted in the floor seating area.
Wright State University and MVCTC procedures do not permit the use of horns, noisemakers, balloons, beach balls, confetti, silly string, etc. during the ceremony. Please assist both institutions in making the MVCTC Senior Recognition Ceremony a very special occasion by refraining from bringing these types of items. (WSU Security officers may confiscate these items)
