[engg-enci-l at mailman.ucalgary.ca]

TO ALL 4TH/5TH/6TH YEAR STUDENTS:

 

 

Dear Graduating Students,

We are officially less than 100 hours away from getting our Iron Rings, and
as Saturday approaches many people are still wondering, what exactly is
going on Saturday, March 7th?

So here's what you need to know:

8:15am-12pm - APEGGA Workshops (Telus Convention Center - Exhibition Hall,
North Building Upper Level).  A more detailed schedule is provided in the
package given to you when you registered for the Iron Ring at the Undergrad
Office, also remember to bring your filled out application (also in the
package).

12pm-1pm - Free Lunch provided by APEGGA for all who attended the workshops
(Telus Convention Center)

1:30pm - IRON RING CEREMONY (Telus Convention Center)

2:30pm - Right after the Ceremony a photographer will be taking group
pictures of the Departments (an announcement will be made at the ceremony)

After Group Photos up to 5:30pm - Free Time. This is your time to go home
and change if you're wearing something different for the Banquet! or just do
whatever you want..

5:30-6:15pm - Cocktails: Cash Bar (Telus Convention Center - Macleod Hall,
South Building Lower Level)

6:15pm-6:30pm - Doors open for the Banquet (Telus Convention Center -
Macleod Hall)

6:30pm-10pm - 2009 Graduation Banquet (Telus Convention Center - Macleod
Hall)

Group pictures of the Departments will be taken again at the Banquet. An
announcement will be made at the event)

10pm -10:30pm - Two Buses will be leaving from the Telus Convention Center
to The Whisky where the aftergrad will take place. You can walk to The
Whisky if you don't want to wait for buses, it's a short walk.


Here are answers to some other FAQs:

What do parents go to?

Parents can go to the Iron Ring Ceremony at 1:30pm (no ticket required) and
the Banquet at 5:30pm (given you got tickets for them). The workshops in the
morning are for students only. Also be advised that if your parents are late
for the Iron Ring Ceremony they will not be let into the room. Once they
close the doors they won't open them until the ceremony is over so BE THERE
EARLY!

What's happening with after grad tickets?

You get one free aftergrad ticket for each banquet ticket you bought, you
can redeem these at the banquet by showing your banquet tickets at the
registration table. They're good for no line no cover until 11pm and include
one free drink. If you didn't purchase banquet tickets unfortunately we have
a limited amount so you should try to get them from someone who's going to
the banquet but not using their aftergrad tickets (ie: parent's tickets).
The aftergrad is not a private function so in the case you can't get tickets
you can always go to The Whisky, you'll just have to wait on line and pay
for cover.

Hope that clears up any confusion and that you all know now where to go!


On behalf of the Grad Banquet Committee we want to extend our
congratulations to everyone for making it all the way here, we hope you
enjoy the Banquet and remember don't drink and drive.

Happy Graduation!

2009 Graduation Director
