Where is the Commencement Luncheon held? What kind of meal is served? Can I buy tickets there?
The luncheon is located in a tent on Pickard Field at the rear of Farley Field House, rain or shine. There is limited seating inside the field house and under the tent for those who wish to sit at tables to eat. Most guests stand and mingle while eating or, in good weather, eat "picnic style" on the field house lawn. The menu is chosen with this informal style of dining in mind.

A limited number of meal badges will be available for those who have not purchased them in advance. There will be a sales table at the main entrance of the Farley Field House.  A meal ticket order form for advance tickets will be included in the Commencement Information packet that will be mailed out to all parents at the end of March.  We encourage you to purchase tickets in advance.

How do I get to the luncheon?
After allowing some time for graduates to locate their families, Chandler's Band will signal the beginning of the luncheon by restarting the music and marching to the field house. The route to the field house is clearly marked.
