What to Expect (Guests)

  • ​Doors to the event will open at 10:00am. Guests may arrive early, but they will not be able to enter until the doors open. ​
  • If you or any of your guests need accommodations, please let the School of Nursing know as soon as possible by contacting nursing@depaul.edu.

What to Expect (Pinners)

  • Guests who have been chosen to pin a student should sit close to an aisle.
  • Pinners should use an event program to follow along as graduates are called, alphabetically, to walk across the stage.
  • When your graduate is about 10 names from the person currently on stage, rise and make your way to the center of the room, where an usher will greet you.
  • Line up next to your graduate, and the pair of you will be directed towards the stage by event staff. Once on stage, you will be handed a pin with any necessary instructions.
  • If you have any questions or need help during the event, staff will be on hand to assist you.
