Flag Bearer information for
students graduating May 2007 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 20, 2007. 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.

Update: the College of Business will no longer be accepting names for flag bearers after March 27. All students who were listed as Participating in the COB ceremony should have been contacted by March 24 if their flag was still available. |
