Are you graduating this May?

Would you like to carry your country's flag in the commencement ceremony? International students graduating in May will be able to carry their country's flag in the commencement procession. If you would like to represent your country, please contact OISS no later than Friday April 18, 2008. Only one person per country and ceremony will be allowed to carry their country's flag.

According to the St. Thomas Flag Policy approved by the President's office, only flags of countries that are Member States of the United Nations can be carried. For a list of Member States of the United Nations click here.

The first person to sign up from a country will be that country's flag bearer. So, contact OISS immediately if you want to represent you country.

If you have questions, contact OISS via email oiss@stthomas.edu or call (651 962-6650) or stop by the office in 161 Murray Herrick.
