Dear Student:<br />
<strong>You</strong> <strong>are</strong> <strong>cordially</strong> <strong>invited</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>attend</strong> <strong>this</strong> year’s Baccalaureate Mass and Hooding Ceremony <strong>to</strong><br />
be held on Friday, May 11, 2012 beginning at 6 p.m. at St. Joseph the Worker Church,<br />
777 West Hollis Street, Nashua, NH. This event honors day and evening undergraduate<br />
students eligible <strong>to</strong> receive degrees at Commencement on Saturday, May 12, 2012.<br />
The hooding ceremony is a visible sign of a student’s academic achievement commensurate<br />
with graduation from a degree program. The Mass is a Commencement tradition that gathers<br />
<strong>to</strong>gether the academic community <strong>to</strong> give thanks for successes realized at Rivier College and<br />
<strong>to</strong> ask for blessings on future endeavors. Therefore, you should be wearing your gown when<br />
you arrive at the church hall and carry your hood with you. Students who have attained a<br />
cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher at the end of the Fall 2011 semester will receive an Honors<br />
Cord.<br />
If you choose <strong>to</strong> participate, I ask that you arrive at the church hall no later than 5 p.m. so we<br />
can begin the processional precisely at 6 p.m. If you have any questions regarding <strong>this</strong> event,<br />
please feel free <strong>to</strong> contact Kathy Morrissey at kamorrissey@rivier.edu or 603-897-8227.<br />
I look forward <strong>to</strong> seeing you at the Baccalaureate Mass and Hooding Ceremony. Academic<br />
regalia (Graduation Gown and Hood Only) is required for <strong>this</strong> event. Please RSVP by<br />
